Fosshagen Care Home
The proposal "Fosshagen" has been developed with the human in mind, as well as emphasis on professional care guidelines, flexible layout, logical functionality, good spatial design and a comprehensive, locally-adapted outdoor environment.
The project also takes into consideration sustainable and adapted architectural solutions, where the respect for people and places constitutes its foundation. The place gains an identity of its own as a small-scale village structure with intimate spaces - inside and out. This creates homely and domestic architectural palette, with a sense of intimacy and belonging.
