Caring Home Complex (Jenny Robinson)

3D Model

By Jenny Robinson BA (Hons) Interior Design 2023

With a spatial approach centred around compassion, my project ‘Caring Home’ enables elderly residents’ autonomy, connecting them with the life-affirming energy of nature and reassurance of community. Challenging institutional stereotypes, the Home as imagined supports the continuation of life and its shared activities. Allowing inhabitants to enrich relationships with loved ones and expand wider social opportunities. Embedding connections between the interior, exterior and surrounding landscape of Pollok Park, the intimate village-like Complex encourages multi-sensory experiences. Navigating dualities of light, sound, smell, and temperature, provides a therapeutic context that supports well-being. Sensitive interventions to the historic buildings embed accessible spaces, offering independence for residents to live in the environment as they choose.
