SENIOR HOUSE

The topic of this dissertation is to design a residential building in Jablonec nad Nisou, specifically housing for seniors with care services. Due to the demographic trends of recent decades, there is a significant increase in the share of the older generation in society. For this reason, buildings of this type will be sought more in the future. The dissertation deals with the design of a building for a city with approximately 50,000 inhabitants. It tries to solve a specific task and with the help of knowledge and experience in the field to create an ideal design, which with its implementation will meet the requirements for capacity, integration into the environment and aesthetics, as well as for a happy life of future users. For a happy life of seniors, it is necessary not only to build accommodation capacity, but to integrate it into a functioning city. Senior citizens should not be separated, but there is a need to create a place where generations can meet and where is possible to provide a variety of services and leisure opportunities. I approached the entire project with this task. In my dissertation, I created a design of a building with 4-7 floors and the surrounding area. The building was designed to make the best use of the potential of the place and to be a benefit itself. The designed building architecturally complements the appearance of the city. It is sensitively incorporated into the current development and respects the natural elements in the locality.
