Turning a former factory in El Pla de Santa Maria into a care home for older people presented a particular challenge: bringing warmth and a human scale to a large building while preventing the interiors from feeling overly institutional. We were commissioned to select the furniture and decorative elements to achieve this.
Our response was to carefully combine colours and textures, introduce cheerful wallpapers and select furniture that offers comfort and character. We also designed bespoke pieces to adapt the spaces to residents’ everyday needs.
Every decision seeks to balance the practical requirements of a care home with a friendly, familiar atmosphere full of life.
The result is an environment designed not only for older people to live comfortably, but also to feel at home.
