Commissioned by the German Red Cross, Stuttgart District Association, a new nursing and residential care center was built in Stuttgart-Sommerrain.
The four-story building has an H-shaped layout. The northern wing accommodates the nursing care area, with a total of 102 rooms. The southern section contains 31 assisted-living apartments. The centrally located connecting structure houses communal spaces and is fronted by a single-story entrance area with a cafeteria.
Key features of the building include its differently designed courtyards: a uniformly paved forecourt with integrated tree islands, the bamboo grove between the cafeteria and the connecting structure, the dementia garden in the inner courtyard, and the north-facing roof garden at ground level, which provides areas for sitting and relaxing.
