Community eco-village for the elderly

Alice Gardini

Il progetto è buono nel complesso, la particolare semplicità dell'impianto generale suggerisce un ulteriore approfondimento/arricchimento dell'aspetto architettonico e distributivo.

Good organization of buildings and open spaces because the central path is like an "open room" in which to walk or stop. The architecture is very interesting and well represented

Habitation - Vegetation

Food is a great unifier across every culture and is unique to every country. Focusing on food as an age-independent mutual interest, a platform was designed where food and skill oriented activities are provided; seniors can make use of their cultural habits and skills towards maintaining their independence, dignity as well as a balanced social life.

David Harden

I think this project captures the essence of shared living and the use of communal space. Very impressed

The Secure Sanctuary

Within the framework of the e-Heal competition, I have designed the "Secure Inner Courtyard" concept, placing the physical and psychological healing processes of children at its core. Isolated from the chaos and potential hazards of the outside world, this space acts as a sheltered haven where children can play freely, connect with nature, and socialize.

ertem_orhan emre

"An incredibly solid project. The way the building masses form a protective triangle around the 'Secure Inner Courtyard' is both a clever and highly empathetic response to the brief. The depth of the site and climate analysis is evident, and the passive design choices (like cross-ventilation and shaded buffer zones) are very well-integrated. I really appreciate the material palette of local brick and terracotta—it grounds the project warmly in its context. Also, the spatial flow from the agriculture workshop directly to the kitchen is a fantastic touch. It’s a beautifully resolved and mature design from start to finish. Congratulations!"

Beautiful work. From the rigorous site analysis to the calm, protected courtyard at its heart, everything serves the healing concept. The contextual material palette ties it all together. A genuinely caring and well-resolved design.

Love this. Treating the child’s psychological safety as the core design driver is exactly right, and the inward-facing courtyard delivers it perfectly. The passive climate strategies feel real and rooted in the context. Mature and empathetic work, well done!
