Aging in Place, Together
An Intergenerational Community HubThis proposal explores the idea of aging in place at the scale of a four tower apartment complex just outside the center of Stockholm. In its current state, the complex is anchored by retail and community resources at the street level on one side, and overlooks a park on the other. The site also spans a slight grade - the park sits about a story below the main street level.

Apartments on the upper floors are designed for independent living, and residents are given the option to transition to assisted living facilities located at the second level of the same complex. This “Managed Care” level contains a number of medical support facilities and an abundance of community gathering space, all of which is also accessible to members of the local public.

The intention is to generate moments of interaction, engagement, and participation between the neighborhood’s elderly residents and the wider community at large in a space that’s inviting, warm, and comfortable.
