Hybrid Center for Young and Elderly

The project is divided basically in two parts: the neighborhood facility, which includes library, day care center, gym and swimming pool; and a residential area for young and elderly.

Prior to develop the proposal, there is an analysis of the pedestrian flows on the plot, main future pedestrian circulation to consider and existing green areas.
The main goal is to promote the coexistence between young college students and elderly. The housing model developed is a macro-unit which can be divided in two independent units, the first one with 450sqf and the second one with 770sqf (450 + 320). By using sliding panels and movable storage pieces each unit is flexible and adjustable to the tenant/tenants needs.
