RESIDENTIAL BUILDING FOR ACTIVE SENIORS IN MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX IN WARSAW’S WILANÓW DISTRICT
BECHELOR THESIS PROJECT 2018
The aim of the project was to create a housing estate that would create friendly conditions for the development of community relations and provide a place for intergenerational integration as well as comfortable living conditions for the elderly. The main intention was to draw attention to the problem of an aging society and the lack of community connections in new housing estates. The detailed study concerns a residential building located in the main area of the housing estate.
