Home for elderly people

The basic was to merge the specifics of attended apartments together with the economic justification of the obligatory floor space index and the combination of different urban rigid demands. These determine the outside appearance of an object inside a compact, economic and well-organized frame, meaning  subtracting the ˝unnecessary˝ elements from the compact cube and make them of a vital importance for the quality of life: an atrium as the main entrance and an inside atrium on the south with a immediate view of the woods. In contrast with the rational and economic inside, the outside is defined as an agitated scheme of the frame. The north façade is defined by three seeming artistically defined compositions which enable the construction to be proportionally embedded in the surroundings while considering the contemporary urban guidelines.
