A new structure rests in the park like a large boulder.

The elongated, curved structure, leaning towards the slope, refers in form and scale to an existing senior residence.

At first glance, the structure appears almost as the mirrored image of the existing volume. It picks up on architectural themes and interprets them in a new light. The juxtaposed gable roofs transform into one large gable roof, with balconies evolving into veritable summer rooms or winter gardens depending on the season. The corridor, through subtle shifts, showcases both narrower and broader spatial sequences.
