Best affordable seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
MELBOURNE: The shortlist for the best affordable seniors housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
An architect has reframed elderly living as shared, adaptive, participatory housing.
In the quiet periphery of Neunburg vorm Wald in eastern Bavaria, Germany, Am Ufertal unfolds as an architectural object that translates a collaborative ethic into spatial form. Conceived by BeL Sozietät für Architektur for the cooperative 9Bürger eG, the ensemble for 26 residents over 50 mediates between individuality and belonging.
The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
