Dignified aging in place
growing old with achievement, social interac�on, safeness and quali�ed housing. Seniors choose to grow old at home with mul�ple reasons. It could be owing to the deep bond and affec�on with their own places, the doub�ul-quali�ed of nursery home in Taiwan or the label of deser�on by their own kids when living in care center. These are common issues for older people. Therefore, aging in place has been a ma�er nowadays. This project focuses on three prime users - the caregiver (foreign helper), the pa�ent (male host) and the both caregiver and poten�al care receiver (female host), which aims to increase the living quality by analyzing the users’ background, house current situa�on and barrier-free applica�on. The design would be developed to adjust two flows, caring flow and living flow , providing users a place with dignity and love.

Two sets of folding doors make the spaces more flexible. When the doors were all closed up, a quiet and indepandent reading area was formed. When the doors were fully opened, a wide and open dinning area was showed. Pa�erned glass was chosen in order to keep the privacy of users in the reading room and blur the mess on the desk.

The sliding showcase which was a�ached with the shoescase could be fully spread out when the distribu�ng box was not in use on a daily basis.

Flexibilty was the goal of our design. The bookcase was compa�ble with MUJI different kinds of storage boxes.
