Assisted Living
This assisted living facility in Örkelljunga, Sweden transforms the Högkullen Preschool into a tranquil home for the elderly. With Sweden’s aging population and heightened focus on elder care, the project meets the growing need for supportive, comfortable living environments. The design fosters tranquility and balance, creating a peaceful home for residents in their final years. Inspired by the Japandi style, it blends Scandinavian simplicity and warmth with Japanese mindfulness. The neutral & earthy palette, nature-inspired textures, and clean lines enhance calmness and connectedness to the landscape.
