The program aims to bring children and elderlies closer together. By exposing children at a young age, it allows to improve their ability to socialise, showing empathy, use of language, and self-esteem. Most importantly, it allows more intergenerational mixing activities and acceptance in the future. The program also helps to tackle loneliness and isolation of the elderlies to improve their health and quality of life.

With impacts of climate change which will make the city face rise in sea level. The program aims to adapt to the changes instead of fighting it by making the process enjoyable and conplement its changes.
During site visit and analysis, the site was like it was forming a boundary with different social classes caused by gentrification. Therefore, the aim is to try to breakdown those boundaries for a better engaged community.
To create a diversified community, there needs to be bond with people, by sharing or exchange aspects with the public. It is important to have certain exchange qualities between the program and the surrounding environment.

SEA-LEVEL RISE IN 2100 CELEBRATING AND ADAPTING THE LIFE AFTER SEA-LEVEL RAISED
In the future, a part of Millbay will become flooded. This means that the structure of the ground floor of the daycare and elderly centre will need alter in order to adapt to the change of sea level. The ground floor will be transformed into a place where people can enjoy and perform water activities. This can be achieved simply by removing all the curtain walls on the ground floor, allowing to invite and encourage users to come into the space.

SOLAR PANEL INSULATION SLATE 150mm RAFTER
Designed to capture the rainwater to be filtered out through the reeds filtration sys-tem. The openings and the chipping roof are designed to mimick the waterfall and river streams seen through nature, to further strengthen the site’s sustainability and connection to nature. Using the natural landscape the reeds are split into 2 ponds. The reeds naturally filter out the greywater, which then permeates through the soil and is then pumped back into the building
The courtyard is a gradual connection between the sloping mountain and the yoga space, creating the opportunity for the visitors to embrace the built environment and the landscape. The yoga space enables the user to have both view on the beautiful landscape to the West, and the sloping mountain- as well as the courtyard- to the East
