The project questions the nature of
dwellings for the aged, especially those with some form of dementia and a new
model of adaptable residential environment in an urban context, challenging the
current conventional dwellings for the aged is required. Research investigated into
dementia during the first semester found the critical correlation between
living environment and the impacts on residents’ physical and mental well-being
Reflecting the studies, the design approach is based on a series of vertical
gardens that create the multi-sensory environment to stimulate residents’
senses and allows residents to experience unconstrained interactions with other
people, activities and nature.
