Sammanfattning
With the older population growing and life expectancy
increasing comes an increased need for residencies adapted
for seniors. Sweden is expecting a 50% increase in
population aged over 80 by 2028, and elderly are healthier
than before. At least every tenth person over the age of 75
is socially isolated, which with a physically healthier older
population becomes one of the main issues for the elderly.
This project aims to combine a preschool with senior
housing and an assisted living facility. The research
questions are:
• • How can homes for the elderly be designed to
promote well-being?
• • How can design of homes help prevent loneliness
amongst the elderly population?
• • How can the presence of children impact life quality
and health among seniors?
And they are answered using literature studies, a survey,
and a design project. The project focuses on shared spaces
and the residencies, the preschool and the assisted living
facility are not planned. A site is chosen and used for the
sake of the project, but is not the main focus since the
project is general and applicable on other sites, and the
programme will be more important than the building itself.
The result is a project with common indoor and outdoor
spaces, a public restaurant, and spaces for different
activities.
