## Analytical Report: Gerha Harmoni Senior Living Facility

### Project Overview

Gerha Harmoni is located in Medan, Indonesia, designed specifically to address the needs of an aging population. The facility addresses challenges of social engagement, mobility, and mental well-being among elderly residents. Emphasizing community and interaction, it provides a thoughtfully crafted environment that fosters connections between residents, their families, and the surrounding context.

### Spatial Organization and Accessibility

The layout of Gerha Harmoni incorporates a clear zoning system that integrates residential units with communal spaces. Residential areas are designed with accessibility in mind, featuring user-friendly configurations that support mobility. Key communal facilities, such as a micro-library, a multifunction room, and dining areas, are strategically positioned to promote social interactions. The central circulation pathways emphasize intuitive movement, creating a flow that encourages engagement and interaction among residents, families, and visitors.

### Material Selection and Environmental Considerations

The facility employs a combination of traditional and modern materials, such as concrete for structural stability, wood for warmth in interior finishes, and glass to enhance natural light and connectivity to the outdoors. The design promotes environmental sensitivity through natural ventilation and light, reducing dependency on artificial heating and cooling systems. The incorporation of green spaces, including gardens and walking paths, not only enhances aesthetic quality but also supports residents’ mental well-being by facilitating interaction with nature.
