EMS les 4 Marronniers

EMS Les 4 Marronniers
The new EMS has 80 geriatric beds and 40 psychiatric beds for old age. On moving into the EMS, the residents must be able to find a living environment where they feel at home. The room becomes his/her home and must be customized to suit each resident.

Typology
The project proposes a care unit on each level, composed of two living units clearly distinct and autonomous from which the common areas (dining, living, care team rooms) and the main vertical distribution naturally fit.

The ground floor opens to the park by a succession of meeting spaces such as the cafeteria, common living or animations rooms that extend to outdoor terraces.

The room
The proportion of the rooms offer the possibility to personalize the layout by creating two separate areas, for the sitting room and for the bed. A large window offers the resident views outside from both sitting and lying down position. An opening allows natural ventilation of the room according to individual needs.

The Park
The whole park is crossed by a looping path offering walkers events, here and there, such as vegetable, aquatic and enclosed gardens and orchards. These gardens are identified and defined by vegetation barriers. To strengthen the wooded character of the park, local tree species will complement those already present.
