Located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, Senior City Village is a residential development designed to support the needs of older adults through thoughtful spatial planning and an emphasis on community living. The project combines individual living units with shared amenities, promoting both independence and social engagement. Organized around central green spaces, the layout encourages interaction among residents while maintaining personal privacy.

Sustainable Architecture and Material Strategy
Sustainability is central to the project’s construction and design approach. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) serves as the primary building material, selected for its low environmental impact, structural performance, and natural finish. Supporting materials such as wood panel cladding, triple-glazed windows, and acoustic underlayment further enhance thermal performance, acoustic comfort, and energy efficiency. The inclusion of rooftop gardens offers additional shared spaces while contributing to the building’s environmental function.

Community Integration and Passive Design
The project is organized into modular housing blocks arranged around communal gardens, fostering a walkable and connected environment. Shared programs, including tutoring centers and workshop spaces, support intergenerational learning and recreational activities. Built to passive house standards, the design integrates high-performance insulation and solar orientation strategies to ensure indoor comfort year-round. Prefabricated construction methods reduce waste and expedite the building process while maintaining a consistent quality standard.
