### Project Overview
Located in Liège, Belgium, the residential complex prioritizes the quality of life for senior citizens through its thoughtful integration of natural elements and emphasis on community interactions. The design integrates building elements in relation to the waterway, creating spaces that promote well-being while addressing the specific needs of elderly residents. This context-sensitive approach enables the structure to respond effectively to its surroundings, enhancing social dynamics and overall lifestyle for its occupants.

### Spatial Configuration and User Experience
The architectural layout features a multi-level design, with the ground floor dedicated to community-oriented amenities such as a therapy garden, outdoor pool, café, and library. This arrangement facilitates direct interaction with the water, encouraging an active and engaged lifestyle among residents. Common spaces are purposefully designed to foster social interaction, incorporating a variety of areas that can adapt to different activities, with options for both shaded and sunlit environments. Personalized living units boast flexible designs, allowing for customization while maintaining connections to communal spaces through private terraces.

### Materiality and Interaction with Nature
The structural framework consists of steel, providing a modern aesthetic alongside durability and stability. This choice allows for expansive open spaces that enhance visual connections with the environment. The design employs wooden boxes for living areas, promoting warmth and inviting atmospheres. Large windows throughout the complex are a key feature, maximizing natural light and creating visual transparency between indoor and outdoor spaces. Additionally, green roofs and community gardens not only enhance aesthetic appeal but also contribute positively to the mental well-being of residents. The building’s close proximity to the water fosters sensory engagement, emphasizing reflections and movement that enrich the architectural experience.
