The document summarizes the external perspectives of an apartment hotel designed for older people. It uses a contemporary design with straight lines and curves that follow the natural surroundings. The goal was to invoke dynamism and modernity rather than a traditional, heavy architecture typically used for elderly housing. Elements like tile roofs, green spaces, white colors, and horizontal louvers help transmit a modern image. The overall aim is to renew designs for elderly living through a light, pleasant environment that allows residents to feel happy and engaged with the urban life while connected to nature.
