Community Housing Scheme
Encouraging healthy living for the elderly
Embedded Files
Year 2. Project 3.
The brief for this project was 'housing for old people'. I designed a housing scheme with the aim to encourage a healthier lifestyle for elder aged residents in an attempt to reduce elder age obesity and promote an active elder age lifestyle. I aimed to encourage this by offering activities and social spaces, incorporating an exercise pavilion for yoga and stretching, two community rooftop kitchen gardens and a community kitchen. Situated in the Kelham Island area of Sheffield, I aimed to encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport into the city centre and the Peak District. The housing scheme features a range of living units from single bed, two bed and three bed apartments.
