This graduation research focuses on discovering new ways of housing the elderly that fits the changed elderly healthcare policy in the Netherlands. It explores ways how to embed them into a neighborhood in which they can rely on support from their neighbors in order to keep them longer at home independently. This has been done by creating a social and cohesive environment on one hand, and providing them with an adaptive building on the other that can react to changing healthcare demands.
