A house, architecture for residents with dementia
As architects, we are involved in the conception of several ambitious projects for Huis Perrekes, an organization that initiated a place where people live with dementia. Our submission consists of a specific design approach for the refurbishment of an old villa and its garden into a house for residents with dementia. The core idea of the House is to reconnect the former villa and its new program to the social network of the village, and society in general. This is done by opening up the House and by creating a strong coherence between residents, family, people living nearby, artists and organizations. The concept allows several interior and exterior spaces to be shared in a significant way in a warm and secure environment. The principles of normalization of dementia, lived experience and focused care are the starting points of the project, which was developed and realized in close collaboration with Huis Perrekes, its director and many members of the staff.
