PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
The project involves a one-bedroom apartment designed to accommodate both a healthy, energetic senior citizen and an elderly person requiring nursing care. The apartment is equipped with an intelligent control system. Based on the specific needs of the elderly, we have developed a unique, elderly-friendly design for the entry hall, kitchen, bathroom, dining room, bedroom, living room, and balcony, creating a comprehensive, age-friendly living space with intelligent, one-stop solutions. Through the intelligent control system, the entire space is tailored to the needs of the elderly, allowing them to control various scenarios with a single click. The design addresses both the material and emotional needs of seniors, showing deep respect for their dignity while ensuring their safety, comfort, and convenience at home. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance the quality of life for elderly residents.
