This project transforms an abandoned historic barn into a rehabilitation center for the visually impaired, while also serving as a shared space for community inclusion. The design emphasizes the preservation and revitalization of cultural heritage, employing non-destructive construction methods—such as suspending lighting and air conditioning equipment from the original beams with steel angles and rings. The guidance system is thoughtfully integrated into the spatial design, balancing usability and aesthetics to create a safe and intuitive environment for the visually impaired.
