Production Technology: This design achieves a high-quality living space that balances safety and elegance. It is based on natural materials like stone and wood, with metals and leathers strategically incorporated for excellent visibility and cushioning. Meticulous consideration for seniors is reflected in ergonomic details like wheelchair-accessible tables and handrails. Through high-efficiency equipment, this "ZEB Ready" building reduces energy consumption by over 50%, contributing to a sustainable society.
Design Challenge: In the 100-year life era, we aimed to redefine the conventional nursing home into a new senior residence that supports holistic well-being. Our objective was to create a quality environment for active seniors that fosters community connections ("en"). By designing diverse common spaces to encourage interaction, we created value beyond the typical "final home," tapping a new market for quality living and attracting residents from their 60s.
Research: The main challenge was to overturn the "final home" stereotype of conventional nursing homes, creating a residence with new value that active seniors aspire to. A key issue was how to naturally balance community interaction with resident privacy and safety. Our solution separates community-oriented common areas from residential spaces by providing a dedicated external access route. This successfully balanced two crucial values: a secure, calm life and a vibrant, multi-generational community.
Inspiration: In the 100-year life era, we challenge the monolithic, closed-off image of conventional nursing homes. Our vision is a residence for a longer, healthier, richer, and more active life. Inspired by the 'Abundant Bonds' between people, architecture, and nature, this is more than a place to live. Our community is an open platform that fosters connections among residents and with the local area, enriching daily life with vibrancy. This is a high-quality space for living a new chapter to the fullest.
Project Duration: Construction Start: December 2020
Completion: February 2023
Opening: March 2023
Location: Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan
Operation Flow: By implementing a circulatory plan for the interior and exterior, including the courtyard, the design encourages residents to wander freely inside and out, fostering spontaneous encounters and interactions. Five dining areas with unique atmospheres offer the joy of choosing a space to suit their mood. Open conversational spaces along corridors prevent isolation and promote daily communication. A community-open annex with direct access allows interaction between residents and the local community.
