Leythenrode Leiderdorp – New Nursing Home for Elderly with Dementia

New Leythenrode in Leiderdorp: 170 care units, three residential blocks with greenhouses, sustainable elderly care and gardens enhancing well-being.

A new home for elderly with dementia.
Leythenrode in Leiderdorp is a nursing home for elderly people with dementia. The outdated complex will be replaced by new construction with 170 care units and extensive facilities. Phased development ensures current residents can remain on-site during the transition.

Three residential blocks and connecting greenhouses.
The masterplan consists of three L-shaped residential blocks, each with three floors and 54 apartments. A stacked central zone with large greenhouses connects the blocks. These greenhouses provide light, greenery, and play a key role in achieving remarkably low energy consumption

Gardens, freedom and quality of life.
An elevated ground level with gardens links the blocks, allowing residents to move freely without leaving the site. The blend of gardens and greenhouses ensures that residents can enjoy the outdoors almost year-round. Living groups are based on the proven wandering principle, with apartments along a corridor, functional islands, and a central open kitchen.

Underground facilities and a new standard.
Below ground, residents find small shops, activity rooms, and a music hall – all with abundant daylight and greenery. The design emphasizes light, spaciousness, and well-being, setting a new standard for dementia care housing. Residents gain greater freedom of movement, tailored to individual needs. TANGRAM also designs the gardens and landscape, making outdoor life an integral part of the care concept
