Interior - Honours (Interior Design)

The Neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood is a project designed to be a dementia-friendly environment and provide an opportunity to practice alternative treatments and preventative methods for those with early on-set dementia, with the aim of improving mental and physical stimulation and ultimately the quality of life. With inspiration for the design coming from the elements of a neighbourhood, focusing on streets and the nodes of gathering created by these forms. The aim was to integrate creative and unique design into a healing environment. Elements such as sustainability, accessibility, social interaction, meaningful activity, sensory stimulation and familiar design have been used throughout to justify the project.
