Abstract
Room(s) for Care explores an alternative housing model with a focus on two seemingly disparate Norwegian populations. Seniors (pensioners) and young individuals who came to Norway as unaccompanied minor refugees often face similar challenges of loneliness and isolation due to physical and cultural/social factors respectively. The project departs from the current housing stock and conditions for both populations - most often highly institutionalized or completely decentralized models, and considers the layers and complexities of intergenerational housing that honors the importance of both independence and collectivity. While collective housing has been an increasingly established typology in many parts of the world, this thesis addresses challenges and opportunities of designing for this type in a Nordic climate and culture.
