PARISH GARDEN HOSPICE, VELEŠÍN
Annotation
NESTLED IN A QUIET GARDEN AT THE EDGE OF VELEŠÍN , THIS HOSPICE PRIORITIZES THE DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF ITS PATIENTS. BY PROVIDING SPACE TO APPROPRIATE AND CUSTOMIZE, PATIENTS CAN MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES AND FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THEIR HOME WHILE HAVING A CONNECTION WITH NATURE. IN THE SUMMER, THE SLIDING DOORS CAN BE OPENED TO CREATE A POROUS THRESHOLD BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, WHILE THE KITCHEN AND GATHERING SPACE OPENS ONTO A COMMUNAL DECK. VIEWS AND WINDOWS ARE OPTIMIZED FOR A SITTING POSITION OR LYING IN A BED.
VISITORS AND FAMILIES CAN USE AN ADJACENT GUEST HOUSE WITH CONNECTING VIEWS, ENJOYING DIRECT ACCESS TO TRAILS SHARED WITH THE BROADER COMMUNITY TO REFLECT AND RETREAT FROM THE HOSPICE. A MEDITATION PAVILION AND PRIVATE DECKS PROVIDE PRIVATE SPACE.
