In a day centre for older people, functionality is essential, yet these facilities can often feel overly institutional. The challenge was to move away from that impression and create spaces that invite people to spend time together, share experiences and feel at ease.
On entering, splashes of colour distinguish and enliven the different areas, combined with furniture in cheerful shapes and tones. Distinctive details add personality and break away from the usual aesthetic of care facilities, without overlooking the needs of the people who use them.
The centre thus becomes a warmer, friendlier environment, combining the joy of a shared space with the familiarity of home.
