Introduction:
Why this project?
The way we consider our living surroundings as we age is evolving. We should also look after the surrounding and needs of old age people as the
trend is changing both male and female member of family are working at that time parents or grand parents live alone at home so, in that time
they should be entertain, get refresh and live with their age group. At one place they all should club together and enjoy that time or more time
according to their mood. We know from examination that individuals with dementia require a invigorating environment and chances to meet
other people. It is not only the homes themselves that are imperative to keeping up freedom: a nearby situation with available shops and
administrations is fundamental, as well.

Why this Site?

The condition of building is very bad and MP government has given them notice to reconstruct it.
The location were it is situated is calm, silent, green and close to nature.
That building is more than 100 year old so it is not constructed as per old age home requirement.
The people live their face problem with building (Supported by Questioner)

Client:

Why did I choose this client?

Care of older adult (60+) is necessary but migration of younger generation, lack of proper care in the family, insufficient housing, economic
hardship and break-up of joint family have increased this is the reason they don't get proper care and attention because of which they lose their
self confidence and the inner motivation that had till date driven them through all the phases of life. With the additional burden of physical
problem to handle at this time it becomes extremely difficult and harsh reality for them.
I want to create a barrier free environment where they should get proper health care including physical and mental care. As at this time they lose
hopes but to enlighten their lives with a new enthusiasm they should be rejuvenated, recuperated and clubbed together at one place which will
lead their life free of all barriers as somebody wisely said that "Strengthening the old is strengthening the Nation indeed".

Function:
• Barrier free environment for Old Age People.
• Environment friendly Design.
• Interesting spaces for entertainment with safety.
• Keeping in mind the colour scheme.
• Using of Sign boards etc.
• More open space keeping in mind their early age
• More of Ground Floor coverage with less stairs and ramp

Online Case Study 1_Croftspar, Springboig Avenue, Glasgow

A small, specialised scheme of seven supported houses for people with dementia. A partnership between public sector provider Cube Housing
Association and Alzheimer Scotland. Cube builds housing and leases it to care providers, but does not provide care services itself. Capital
funding was from Communities Scotland. Staff are on site 24 hours a day, one on duty at night, and one sleeping over. The architects were
Chris Stewart Architects (now Collective Architecture) and the scheme was completed in 2005.

Key features
A group of small, individual houses around a landscaped courtyard with a warden alarm system and movement sensors in the bedrooms. The
scheme is designed with level access and to maximise solar gain. The circular layout helps people with dementia to find their way around the
scheme and the small scale appeals to residents. However, the residents do not like the open plan design of their homes and the modern
bathroom furniture and under floor heating is confusing for people with dementia.

Design and architectural features

• Group of small, individual houses around a landscaped courtyard
• Warden alarm system and movement sensors in the bedrooms
• Maximises solar gain
• Level access.

Points for residents

• Circular layout helps orientation of people with dementia
• Small scale appeals to residents but cost effectiveness needs to be considered
• Residents don’t like open plan of homes
• Modern bathroom furniture and under floor heating are confusing for people with dementia.
Online Case Study 2_Barton Mews, Barton-Under-Nedwood, Staffordshire

A private development of 29 extra care apartments for sale, aimed at affluent, older local buyers, or buyers with local family connections.
Built, sold and managed by private sector provider Shaw Homes. The scheme, designed by Pentan architects, was completed in 2008

Design and planning

The architect was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and this can be traced in the project, although its scale has nevitably
compromised its architectural qualities.

Design and architectural features

• Extra care scheme above doctor’s surgery and
• cottage hospital with separate entry for each
• Accommodation extends round a courtyard.

Points for residents

• Broad range of services
• Aspirational design features
• Accessible and adaptable flats and corridors.

Management issues
• Some flats bought by children stand empty because parents do not want to move in.
