PROGRAM
The project site is located in Utby, Gothenburg, in a
residential area of small villas. The program requires to
design a dementia village of 80-100 apartments split
into units with common areas. Moreover, good connections with outdoors is an important part of this kind of
project. The particularity of such a program is that it is
not only residential that must be designed, but also a
whole organization for the staff to be able to work in
good conditions. This project requires good housing
qualities while being efficient and practical from a
healthcare point of view. Another part of the program
was to think of public functions that the neighbourhood could also benefit from.
SITE
The site in Utby is quite enclosed since no road is
directly reaching it. Moreover, it is a sloping terrain,
around twenty meters height difference from one side
to the other. It is currently used as a public wood with
paths. Everyone can pass by and have a walk. All of the
vegetation might be worth saving. On the eastern part
of the site stands an allotment garden, which is also the
flattest part of the terrain.
SURROUNDINGS AND CONNECTIONS
The area is mainly residential with few stores. We can
find a lot of pre-schools and schools with some playgrounds. Several sport facilities (indoor and outdoor)
are located quite close and a big forest borders the
north side. However, there are no cultural buildings in
the area except churches.
To reach the site of the village, several bus stops are
between 5-10 minutes away by walking and several
small roads also surrounds the site.
