Abstract
ABSTRACT
This project undertakes the design of a Nursing Home Facility that prioritizes resident-centered care, comfort, and well-being. The design aims to create a supportive environment that promotes physical, social interaction and emotional health and also a sense of community. The nursing home design incorporates evidence based principles and guidelines including those related to universal design, accessibility, and sustainability.
The design proposal includes a comprehensive analysis of the site, climate, and context as well as a thorough review of relevant literature review and design guidelines. The design includes private and communal spaces, optimized natural light and ventilation, and accessible and navigable circulation paths.
The project also considers the care model and operational requirements of the nursing home, ensuring a functional and efficient design. The design proposal includes a detailed spatial program, floor plan, elevations and sections as well as a comprehensive set of technical specifications and materials.
