TANGRAM Architects has spent the past years deeply exploring how to build better for care-inclusive living. This effort has resulted in a steady stream of new facilities, some of which are under development, under construction, or already completed. Our building Zuidoever in Amsterdam, created for Cordaan and delivered in 2021, serves as initial proof that a different approach to building design can lead to a more pleasant life for both residents and care staff. This is reflected in reduced medication use, a more social atmosphere, fewer staff sick leave days, and a viable financial model.
In our book DESIGNED WITH CARE, we have documented our experiences. Valuable contributions from experts in the field and stakeholders enrich the content. This book is a must-read for anyone planning developments in this area.
The book is available as a PDF file (for now only in Dutch, soon to be in English) by registering via email: l.duran@tangramarchitekten.nl.
