The concept for this project is Togetherness. The notion is to provide a space that fosters social mobility by creating a collection of shared spaces designed to create a sense of place, that influences the mental, emotional and physical well-being between the elderly and student. This will create a warm, relaxing and positive environment for both parties; promoting social interaction, and a sense of community.

Elders will pay for their accommodation and services provided, while students will reside for free by volunteering. The building will be a sustainable co-op residential care center with energy efficient design that uses biodegradable and renewable materials. The students will be able to keep the elderly company, conduct various activities with them and help them with their personal needs. The intention is to design a place that removes the negative effect of aging and integrate students into the lives of the elderly. This will provide the elderly and students opportunities to promote personal relationship through social activities.

The collection of shared spaces will be accomplished by having a common area such as; Interior garden, lounge, open kitchen and dining, cafe, study area etc. This will create a warm and positive environment using color, light and materials such as; glass for partitioning. The walls in some common area will appear with slatted wood panel, ceiling in some areas will appear in organic form and some columns will create an illusion of a tree.

The architectural Façade will remain to conserve its historical values. A warm, relaxing and positive environment will be achieved by creating relaxing spaces such as a roof top garden through color, furniture and plants. The spaces will be conducive for reflection, study, play and discussion.
