The Forgotten Home.

How do you design for someone who cannot remember what their home looks like? A Forgotten Home is a dementia care village in Kannur, Kerala — designed to feel less like a facility and more like a neighbourhood you've always belonged to. Familiar materials, looped courtyards, and sensory cues rooted in Kerala's vernacular traditions help residents feel safe, oriented, and at home. Because care works best when it doesn't feel like care.
