Alcacer do Sal Residences - interior

This senior residence in Portugal mixes the comforts of a hotel and the cares of a medical facility; the program responds to the senior citizens' need for social interaction followed by introspective moments in their lives, mixing congregating spaces and more private ones in the layout- this concept is also transmitted into the facade, through a dynamic game of fills and voids.

The project has clean paths on the inside and out, where a designated walkway runs over a containment wall; these paths are meant to be easy to navigate since some of the users have mobility problems.
