Create a community environment that maintains constant contact with the outside, but at the same time achieves privacy and security ... These were the main premises that shaped this group for the retirement of the elderly. Resident rooms are grouped around vegetated voids that provide natural lighting and ventilation.
The corridors reveal double heights that can be understood as contained gardens that lead to an atrium where the reunion with the family is concentrated. The perimeter gardens allow the activities of dining rooms, chapels and other areas to be extended to a wooded exterior. The set gives a solid and sober image to the bench, being subtle and forceful.
