Abstract

Assisted living means to undergo drastic changes in life. Most significant is the change from a familiar domestic environment to a care based situation that includes incremental levels of medical support, often in spaces that are modeled after hospitals.

The core of this thesis is grounded in the believe that an architectural familiarity of space should be retained, whereas the overall architecture should be able to silently absorb the necessities of medical support.

As a place of habitat, the constellation of rooms proposes for an individual to quickly develop a new community that analogous to the typical domestic communities.
