In the north of Amsterdam we developed a plan for ‘Het Schouw’, a new build nursing home. Inbo designed buildings A and G. The majority of units in this building are designed for care provision. The home also included four group care units suitable for the intensive care of elderly residents suffering from dementia. The aim is to have a mix of residents, those requiring care and those who do not. ‘Het Schouw’ has transformed the dated notion of a retirement home into something closer to a real, living neighbourhood with space for those requiring care.
