Architects are developing adapted home designs for the elderly at CASACOR, one of Brazil's main interior design fairs. The professionals are rethinking residential spaces to meet the demands of an aging population, abandoning traditional concepts of housing for the elderly.
The classic image of an elderly person confined to a room, sitting in a wheelchair in front of a window, is being left behind by these new architectural projects. The specialists seek to create environments that allow not only circulation, but actively encourage it.
The new projects bet on spacious rooms, free from dangerous obstacles, with appropriate heights for the residents and smart technological features integrated into the space. Accessibility and mobility are absolute priorities in the development of these homes.
