The three storeys are organized around a courtyard that shifts to each level. This movement creates a sequence of ascendant spaces connected visually

The common spaces, dining rooms and living rooms are situated around these spaces situated in opposition to the more private single rooms

The simplicity of the external volume is combined with an internal spatial richness

Nursing Home / Losone

A key aim for the design is to enhance the site and the nearby areas with a new park that connects the existing nursing home “Fondazione Patrizia” and the new structure.
The new nursing home is a clear and functional 3-storey building; its height is proportionate to that of the nearby constructions.
The simplicity of the external volume is combined with an internal spatial richness.
The three storeys are organized around a courtyard that shifts to each level. This movement creates a sequence of ascendant spaces connected visually.
The common spaces, dining rooms and living rooms are situated around these spaces situated in opposition to the more private single rooms.
