Residential Care Home for Disabled People

LIVING
3

A two-storey residential building for ten people with disabilities has been erected in Erftstadt-Gymnich. Its residents pursue regular employment, the nature of which depends on their age and disability. The members of Evangelische Stiftung Hephata (Evangelical Foundation Hephata) support them in everyday tasks according to their needs.

The design of the building is deliberately straightforward and foregoes the use of decorative elements. Its minimalist approach, plain materials and clear layout improve the comprehensibility and concision of the structure and help residents find their bearings.

CLIENTS

»Those who build workshops and living spaces for people with disabilities work with two critical limitations: a large amount of official regulations and a tight budget. The Hephata building project posed an additional challenge: we wanted to free the facilities from their former institutional atmosphere, so our residents would be able to live in normal houses. Dr Schrammen listened carefully, understood our philosophy and built the rooms we needed for our ideas. He has given us workshops and houses that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing. This is why we have been working with Dr Schrammen for twenty years.«
