Care facilities and residences for the elderly

On the rolling landscape of a former farmer’s field, today enclosed by suburban development, a new care and recreation centre for the elderly takes form. The plan is articulated in such a way as to leave breathing space between the new building and the surrounding urban tissue, while realising the necessary programme for a community with a growing need for such facilities.
