Villa Breda senior village<br />

Villa Breda senior village takes the opinions and perspectives<br />

of seniors into account from the very beginning<br />

of the design phase, <strong>for</strong> everything from services to<br />

experimental spaces and surroundings. It focuses on<br />

accessibility, holistic care and using different senses as a<br />

design driver. Questions asked include: how do seniors<br />

comprehend space through different senses? How to<br />

make use of contrasts? How to best place lighting <strong>for</strong><br />

people who spend most of their time in a wheelchair<br />

or bed? How can we support relationships between<br />

seniors living in a nursing home and their relatives<br />

and friends? How best to maintain a relationship with<br />

oneself?<br />
