Space & Service Design final project 2021 | Design for Ageing by Sepide Mehralian & Sevdenur Dursun

IN DEN HOF is a design concept that focuses on welcoming and creating more links between outside world and the residents of Aalmoezenier Cypers, a care center in Stabroek.
The service system of IN DEN HOF consists of "Welcoming", "Socializing" and "Hospitality".Inside the building, sequential neutral walls have been eliminated to create more spacious, friendlier and practical space for reception and waiting area. A shopping area has also been added. Design of the reception desk has been done according to inclusive design, thus, it also takes into consideration the use of a wheelchair.
Outside the building, a green space has been converted to a welcoming public and social space that invites members of the public to interact with the care center's residents. This includes a bike repair station, a children's playground, a covered seating area as well as the project's trademark birdhouses.
