Designed by the architecture firm Aires Mateus in Alcácer do Sal , Portugal , this has got to be one of the cool looking places you could ever hope your grandparent would live . I just visited my grandma in Florida , and while her condo is perfectly dainty , it ’s not exactly slabber - worthy computer architecture .
The architects give it to us in architect - speak :
The project is base on a attentive reading of the life of a very specific kind of community , a sort of a micro - guild with its own rules . It is a programme , somewhere in between a hotel and a hospital , that assay to encompass and reinterpret the compounding social / private , answering to the need of a social living , and at the same clip of solitude . Independents wholeness aggregate into a unique body , whose conception is expressive and clear . The reduct mobility of those who will last in the building suggests that any displacement should be an affective and variable experience . The distance between the independent units is measured and drawn to flex the estimate of way into life , and its time into phase .
Neat ! And though the minimalist DoI and exteriors might not be appealing to grandparents , they are for certain appeal to this grandchild . That stand for more visits ! [ Design Milk ]
