Natural solution
Norway's Carpe Diem dementia care community
features a village-like setting to encourage residents
to stay active and connected
The majority of buildings
within the community are
arranged along the site's
outer edges to form a natural
border. The approach
also creates a unified
village setting within that
includes walking paths and
seating areas.
A
IMING TO FILL a void in dementia
care in Norway, the
city of Baerum, an affluent
municipality in the suburbs
of Oslo, embarked on a pilot
project to deliver Baerum's
first dementia village and Norway's first dementia
village built from scratch. " The aim is
a village where people suffering from dementia
are able to continue living their lives as they used
to, in a safe environment with the least possible
institutional character, " says Trude Schei, project
leader from the municipality.
Inspired by the De Hogeweyk dementia
village in the Netherlands, the nearly
200,000-square-foot Carpe Diem community,
which opened in fall 2020, is located on a site
already owned by Baerum that was chosen for
its green surroundings and pleasant views.
Designed as a unified village, the majority
of the buildings are located on the outer edges
of the site to form a natural border to the
surroundings. " More like soft edges in lieu of
fences, " says Robert Ritzmann, senior architect
at Nordic, Office of Architecture (Oslo),
the firm behind the project's design. The structures
are organized into a variety of smaller
two- and three-story buildings for residences,
community spaces, and a treatment center. The
layout helps break up the mass while forming
walkable, delimited outdoor space through the
whole village, including an urban square and
landscaped areas.
Visitors and guests enter the village through
a main entrance pavilion and reception area,
which is followed by a community house
with a café; great room for larger gatherings;
and " the street, " a long corridor comprising
a succession of spaces like a pub, salon, craft
