5 key facts about this project
The "Home of Connections" hospice home offers a carefully designed space aimed at improving the experience of residents facing health challenges. Located near the Laskóvölgy reservoir, the facility prioritizes comfort and healing. The design concept focuses on creating an environment that connects residents with nature and each other, fostering a calming atmosphere that supports their well-being during difficult moments.
Design Concept
The layout consists of three distinct homes, arranged in a split rectangular form that reflects the surrounding bushy landscape. This configuration allows the buildings to engage with their environment, offering views of both the water and nearby trees. Thoughtful orientation facilitates natural light to enter the interiors, creating pleasant shadows that shift throughout the day.
Interior Spaces
Inside, the hospice features minimalist designs that promote calmness. Neutral colors and practical furniture make the spaces welcoming and functional. Single rooms can be adjusted to accommodate an extra bed, allowing residents to invite companionship when needed. This flexibility addresses the emotional needs of individuals, helping them feel supported during their stay.
Pensive Spaces
Dedicated areas, known as "Pensive Spaces," are integrated into the design to encourage quiet reflection. These spaces serve as retreats for solitude and contemplation, enhancing the experience for both residents and visitors. The layout of the hospice allows for social interaction while ensuring that individuals can find their own moments of peace and contemplation.
Natural Integration
The overall design encapsulates the beauty of the surrounding landscape, inviting interaction with nature. Residents are able to witness seasonal changes, enriching their daily experience. Views of the outdoors provide more than just a pleasant sight; they contribute to a sense of calm and well-being. The architecture connects residents to the natural world, making nature an important aspect of their healing journey.
