The main persona that “The Elderly Village” is targeted towards is the Elderly community, which includes those who are active and those who are disabled. There are four types of rooms available that promote communal living: Family Nook, Elder’s Nook, Relaxation Nook and Dream Nook. The Family Nook allows for 1 disabled elderly and 2 active elderly to live together, Elder’s Nook allows for 2 disabled elderly and lastly, Relaxation Nook and Dream Nook allows for single living with a different floor area for a balcony. All the units have a bench located outside the main door, along the corridor, to promote interaction between residents. Furthermore, the kitchen is located behind a glass window, facing towards the corridor, such that the residents are able to connect with their neighbours more easily as they are able to see each other walking past the corridor. As the older buildings within the site are 4 - 5 floors high and have a smaller floor area, I decided to allocate the communal facilities within the older buildings while creating new residential individual blocks around them. As a way to connect the old and new buildings together, common corridor spaces are created between each floor, where pockets of space allow for resting and chatting among neighbours and thus creating an outdoor living space for them. Individual elevator and staircase cores are also connected to the corridor such that residents would need to walk along the corridors to enter their unit. Furthermore, in the site, there is a central courtyard where people would be able to gather and rest. Rooftop gardens are allocated for some new buildings in order to strengthen the residents’ love for gardening while other rooftops are accessible for residents to relax and enjoy the scenery. Lastly, an important aspect of “The Elderly Village“ is the idea of vegetation on the facade of the new buildings and corridors. It not only creates a form of therapy for the elderly but also acts as a significant element in creating shaded areas and allowing for sunlight to come in during different seasons.
