This temporary residence facilitates both physical and mental accessibility for a client diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). With the help of more than a 100 friends and family of the client, design studio Wim Goes Architectuur repurposed an existing concrete carport, which proved to be more suitable than the existing house, and created an environment that focuses on hope instead of sickness. Once the client no longer needs the space, most of the construction materials can be recycled or reused, celebrating the circle of life.
The architects met with the client's ergotherapist to figure out a solution that would work best for the client's limiting circumstances. They converted the existing concrete carport into a barrier-free space built with the help of more than 100 friends and family members, and tutoring from professionals experienced with sustainable heating, ventilation, and home automation.
After demolition, 83% of the project - straw and loam - will be used for fertilizing the landscape. All the technical equipment is returnable, while glass, metal and wood elements can be recycled. The entire project, including its construction, was designed to celebrate the circle of life.
