An elderly home with fabric details referring to the past, a connection to the history and present of the residents of the elderly home.

Problem

Elderly care facilities often rely on facades that feel institutional and impersonal, which can alienate residents. Historical or cultural identity may be neglected in favor of purely utilitarian solutions. This can weaken the emotional bond residents feel to their surroundings. Over time, the building may feel detached from the narratives its users carry.

Solution

By integrating Lalace mesh with references to traditional fabric patterns, the facade becomes a bridge between memory and space. The design softens the boundary between inside and outside, inviting connection without sacrificing functionality. Residents see traces of familiar motifs, helping the building feel more like home and less like a facility.

Product

Lalace is a woven mesh system suitable for facades, enclosures, screens, gates and more. It allows customization in pattern, density, scale and curvature to align with architectural intentions. In this project Lalace was applied as decorative mesh elements that reference textile heritage, giving the elderly home both protective function and emotional resonance.
