Nursing Home in Esternberg - interior/dining area

This nursing home located in a small Austrian villa is programmatically separated into three major blocks: the administration block which includes an auditorium, a chapel and a cafe, all open to the public; the residential area which hosts the residents' rooms and common areas; and finally the service block which acts as an articulator between the administration and residence area. The nurses' station is adjacent to the living areas to be closer to the residents in case of a medical emergency. The rooms and common areas of the residence area are faced towards the most favorable directions surrounding the project, southwest and west respectively, in order to provide the residents with the best views possible.
