| Ribad’Ave, Portugal |
Owner of construction > Santa Casa da Misericórdia
Client > Galbilec
Execution project completed
Associated with the different buildings that make up the center, there are proposed green areas for framing, contemplation and, especially, areas for enjoyment. These areas, designed and designed for outdoor activities, invite the involvement and participation of users and residents of the center, thus contributing to balance and cognitive stimulation.
In a central area, a green space is proposed with walking paths, seating areas and recreational activities, such as raised boxes for growing aromatic plants or areas for board games on a real scale, using the design of the pavement.
Nearby, the proposal for plots for cultivation and an orchard to be cared for and managed by users/residents.
The vegetation, essentially deciduous and with chromatic diversity, enhances not only visual stimulation but also the perception of the passage of time marked by seasonality, so important for these therapeutic spaces.
