Senior living community Balancen
Senior living community Balancen
Pension Danmark is the developer of the Balancen i Ry project and Vandkunsten is the architect.
The project is a housing community consisting of 32 houses organized in smaller clusters around courtyards and with shared houses scattered throughout the development.
The housing community is characterized by an active community of residents who are very committed to creating a community with a strong sustainability profile. We contribute to Balancen with the interior design for the building's communal houses. The communal houses consist of: A meeting house with a kitchen and a large flexible room that can be used for everything from a yoga room to a dining room and morning meeting. The furnishing concept consists of carefully selected sustainable furniture and donations from the community's residents. We have curated the selection so that a common thread and coherence is created in the design. And with the donations, we have put another perspective on the sustainable; namely to recycle instead of throwing away.
The furnishing project is thought of as part of overall resident involvement, and a significant effort in building the residents' community.
The involvement process has two purposes:
Kickstart the building of a community among future residents.
Increase ownership of the common rooms with the result that you take better care of the furniture.
