Villaggio Santa Elisabetta - ella Nursing Home

The Villaggio Santa Elisabetta – ella nursing home is located between Bressanone and Varna, serving also Luson, providing accessible care for the wider northern Italy community.

The project, developed by Pinearq with Cooprogetti and Solarraum, is currently in the design phase. Moreover, it aims to meet high sustainability standards.

The facility focuses on five complementary aspects: comfort and low environmental impact, mechanical and electrical efficiency, as well as social, managerial, and economic sustainability.

The nursing home integrates into a residential context with low-rise buildings. Consequently, the proposal is structured as a neighbourhood of small buildings creating courtyards.

A central plaza provides access to the day-centre. Additionally, it fosters strong relationships with the neighbourhood and residents of the Villaggio Santa Elisabetta.

The plaza is defined by a multi-story building above the day-centre. This building includes self-sufficient senior housing, enhancing community interaction and privacy.

The design follows KDA principles for fifth-generation residences: life in privacy, life in community, and life in society. Therefore, it balances independence and social engagement.

Finally, the layout allows for independent areas to isolate patients quickly if needed. Thus, it ensures safety and continuity during pandemics or other health emergencies.
