Elderly Healthcare And Residential Building With Hotel And Restaurant in Leszno, Poland by NA NO WO ArchitectsOctober 4th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: NA NO WO Architects We would like to present you one of the most interesting projects of the NA NO WO design group We have had the pleasure to participate in all aspects of the investment – from concept through construction and executive project, cost optimization and supervisions. Today, the building have passed the construction works acceptance and has been placed in service.  Image Courtesy © Maciej Lulko

This building complex includes a rehabilitation center which provides care and medical services and is supported by hotel and catering facilities, cultural events, underground car park and all infrastructure needed. The entire complex has a total net area of 8928 square meters and a volume of 29315 cubic meters.

Due to the structural system, ceilings construction and condition of the existing XIXth century stables and the XXth century granary they were not able to be directly adatped for their new functions. They have needed to be subjected to reconstruction and expansion.

This was quite a challenge because the original object had not have a basement at all. As a result the entire underground flor had been constructed under the existing historical foundation.The ceiling above the last storey had been partially raised topping the historic elevation with band of windows illuminating hotel rooms. Differing levels of the flat roof act as a recreational terrace balustrade, located on the historical building roof, forming at the same time a decorative pot. Terrace, as a meeting point for seniors, its beautiful panorama of the city, a cozy cafe and petanque track are just a few of the many attractions addressed to residents and visitors.There are also a restaurant with kitchen, a stage for special events organized for residents, a chapel providing pastoral care, hotel rooms and a conference room located in this building.

Each of the wards has access to the daily open spaces and green terraces, integrating and activating seniors. The newly designed residential building is surrounded by a recreational garden with fountain. Seniors who stay in the residence have at their disposal fully equipped comfortable apartments with spacious balconies and loggias. On the top floor terrace residents can take part in yoga classes and outdoor gymnastic activities. In this building we have also placed the spacious underground garage.

All those buildings have had a different character, composition, height and elevation materials related to the time of their construction. In order to combine them together we have decided to introduce perforated Cor-Ten sheets to form balustrades, sunlight breakers, information stands, fences and interior design elements. The rusty steel plate material symbolize the transience and the inevitable passage of time. The dynamic cracks appearing on the facades refers to volatility and a number of turning points making up human life. Due to the costs optimization process the Cor-Ten material has been replaced by a rusty color lacquered metal sheet.The whole building complex is adapted to the needs of people with disabilities.

A care and medical center for the elderly is obviously the heart of newly designed and renovated building complex but our goal was, however, to allow the movement of people in other age groups and coming from outside. That is why we have introduced other features and common areas to promote social integration as a restaurant, conference room, terrace with a café and a track to play boulle on the roof, and public recreational garden with a fountain.

There are open living rooms located on each floor where the residents can take part in painting, sculpture or modeling lessons. Every resident has an access to public or individual terrace or loggia where they can grow plants.There are rooms for physical therapy located on each floor, where users can practice sport under the supervision of specialists.
