Care housing Weijerstaete
Zecc designed an apartment building with 46 apartments commissioned by housing association Mooiland Vastgoed. The project concerns social housing for people with a need for limited residential care. The building is part of an ensemble of connected buildings and is designed to accent its height in the area. The building has a basement of curved masonry with a broad main entrance area. From the ground up the sculptural masonry transforms itself into an angular freeform with emphasized vertical elements.
Context
The building is part of an ensemble of connected buildings with meeting spaces, healthcare facilities, GP’s and a pharmacy. People live independently, if possible, but can make use of the care facilities in the building. The circulation space runs through the building and is shaped like it is part of the public space. The building contributes to the quality of life for a group elders and stimulates personal encounters.
Design
The building is part of a series connected buildings of the residential care complex Weijerstaete. It had to be attached to an existing building. It is like a thickened 'head' and height accents against the existing more low level surrounding. The complexity within this task was to design an efficient volume with 6 apartments a floor against the existing building with a different floor height than the surrounding buildings.
