The project responds to the spatial and social needs of individuals requiring special assistance by proposing accessible environments that actively support caregiving practices. Beyond meeting functional accessibility requirements, the design seeks to reduce social isolation by fostering a strong sense of neighborhood and collective living. Residential units are organized as a shared living framework accommodating both residents and their assistants. Carefully integrated common spaces encourage daily interaction, shared routines, and informal encounters. Through this spatial organization, care is embedded into everyday life rather than isolated, reinforcing social cohesion, mutual support, and an inclusive living environment.
