Architecture, aside from its function to shape the environment, is supposed to answer the problems of changes that are happening in the society. Most of the area of Western and Central Europe is dealing with the dilemma of aging society. The infrastructure is not adjusted to the needs of people on wheelchairs or crutches users. Multi-family housing buildings that were erected decades ago are not adapted to be used by elderly or disabled. 
Elderly people complain not only about architectural barriers but mostly of loneliness and the feeling of being neglected. Contemporary senior centers tend to separate elderly from the rest of the society, and keep them within comfortable, but closed environment. The idea of the designed settlement was to create a multi-family housing that would be efficient in use by its users in every age.  The proposed architecture is not designed directly for older people, that could end up in isolating them, but in a way, that makes neighbor cooperation possible. The settlement is located by the Mlynowka Channel in Opole and it is surrounded by green areas, such as parks and zoo on the opposite riverside. 
Designed apartments are created in a way that makes it possible to make a home that would provide comfortable living conditions for long decades. Aside from designing apartments that are convenient in use by one or two people on wheelchairs, the building provides also a space for common activities, including play room for children, library, cafeteria for local events and gym. In order to grant the best care for elderly, there is a medical point in the building, that is connected with apartments via emergency buttons.
