Home for the Elderly

HOME FOR THE ELDERLY

This project designed by Baena Casamor Arquitectes has a number of intriguing features. 

The old age home uses an eye catching combination of ceramic tiles and timber to create a unique aesthetic. The ceramic tiles form the external skin of the building on two of the sides while large windows and timber slats form the raining two facades. The Timber elements provide privacy and an interesting aesthetic. 

The building also has a fascinating relationship with the site as it connects the street on one side of the building to a public park space on the other. This is done through a public lobby space and is an element that can be explored in project 3.
