The chosen location for the intervention lies on the boundary between a typical peripheral urban settlement condition and fragments of agricultural landscape that persist. In this complexity made up of different elements, the design of the agricultural grid defines a settlement rule characterized by orthogonal traces, relative to which the project is positioned. The layout is characterized by two courtyards. The first constitutes a space of relationship with the city, the exterior, the space for reception and socialization; it is a place reminiscent of ancient cloisters. The second courtyard, on the other hand, smaller and more protected, is dedicated to the rooms and the ground floor to the Alzheimer's unit, with a dedicated pathway. The rhythm of the aluminum blades of the facade creates a sunshade structure integrated with full-height fixed or openable window systems.
