Chongming Hengsha Nursing Home
Chongming Hengsha Nursing Home
Project Address: Chongming, Shanghai
Developer: Hengsha Township Government
Building Area: 3,000 square meters
The current site of the project is located at the core of Hengsha Island, 810 meters away from the Hengsha Township Government and approximately 6.6 kilometers away from the ferry terminal. On the east side of the site is the Sunshine Heart Garden, on the west side is a building materials market, on the south side across the motorway is farmland, and on the north side there is a single-story bungalow which is currently rented by the nursing home. The site is basically square in shape, and there are a two-story building and a three-story building on the current site. The design goal is to improve the building quality, perfect the supporting facilities and enhance the spatial quality.
The design encloses the activity rooms around the ground-floor courtyard. The activity rooms for the elderly, medical rooms and office rooms are located on the ground floor, enclosing the inner courtyard. The residential rooms are moved upward. The residential rooms for the elderly are located on the second and third floors, facing south, so that each nursing unit can have better sunlight and ventilation. The spatial characteristics are strengthened. The entrance lobby space is bright and square, and the courtyard on the north side is the visual center of the space. Each nursing unit on every floor has a public activity space for the elderly. The gray space created by the covered corridors provides a place for the elderly to stop and enjoy the view of the courtyard.
