We created a nursing home that feels like an everyday hotel. Instead of an inorganic, ornate design, we created a design that is organic and full of movement, so that residents can feel the joy of living. The arches create rhythm in the landscape and harmonize with the plantings. The corners of the balconies are all framed by arches, creating a soft and friendly expression. While the interior is wood-based, the continuous arches on the exterior create a modern atmosphere, presenting a home for the elderly that the community can be proud of.
