Jin Wellbeing County | 泰国老年住宅的新模式

公司： Openbox Architects + Openbox Group

类型： 景观

地区： 泰国

Jin Wellbeing County项目随着泰国和许多东盟（ASEAN）国家步入“老年生活”时代，打造适合老年人士的生活空间正在成为一种新的开发项目类型。OPENBOX公司已被邀请作为住宅建筑专家加入该项目团队，团队成员包括老年生活顾问、医疗设备顾问、医院专家和设施管理团队。

Senior Living is growing into a new development type, as Thailand and many ASEAN countries are moving into the age of Senior Living. OPENBOX has been asked to join this project team as a residential architecture expert among related expertises, such as senior living consultant, medical equipment consultant, hospital experts, and facility management team.

占据50%面积的绿化空间50% GreenArea不同于其他早期的老年住宅开发项目，Jin Wellbeing County是一个大规模开发项目，拥有多种用途的总体规划，分为以下三个阶段：

第一阶段：设有低层住宅公寓、医疗诊所、俱乐部会所、运动器械和康疗设施；

第二阶段：设有中高层公寓、老年人日托中心和医疗设施；

第三阶段：高层商业设施、宽敞的医院和社区购物中心。

Unlike other, earlier senior developments, Jin Wellbeing County is a large scale development, with extensive master planning, divided into 3 phases as followings:

Phase 1-low-rise residences condominiums, medical clinic, clubhouses, sports and rehabilitation facilities,

Phase 2 -Mid-rise apartments, senior daycare, and medical facilities,

Phase 3 -High-rise commercial facilities, full-scale hospital, and community mall.

大规模项目能在很多方面带来巨大的好处。首先是提供齐全设施、多样化功能和细心体贴的工作人员，只有在这么大的项目中才有机会实现。这也使得项目功能更加齐全，几乎就像一个可持续发展的小镇。

The project scale could be a great benefit in many ways. First is by focussing on the variety of facilities, functions, and people that is possible only at this scale. This would also make the project feels more rounded, almost like a sustainable, small town.

其次是在共享开放空间的关注度上，这在当前的城市生活中变得非常重要。第一个关键理念是打造占比50%的绿化空间，绿化区十分宽敞，让人感觉就像一个大型公园，里面隐匿着几栋住宅楼。

Second is by focussing on shared open space that is becoming very important in current urban living. The first key idea was to provide 50% green area, which should be so large, it would feel like a large public park with a few residential buildings hidden inside.

自然和功能景观区

得益于各种各样的美丽景观，Jin Wellbeing County项目成为了一个空气清新、环境优美且拥有超棒室外起居空间的住宅区，还规划融合了许多活动，四周环绕着许多树木和景观，可供居民尽情探索游玩。

Natural and Functional Landscape

With so much landscape, Jin Wellbeing County becomes a green development with cleaner air,better environment, and great outdoor space residence to live outside, where may activities were planned and embedded among the trees and landscape space for residences to explore.

为美好生活而建造开发项目

经过几轮设计讨论，我们意识到针对特定功能和特定人群的设计属于西方国家的设计理念。而东方国家的开发项目更倾向于针对目标群体打造多种功能，这种混合用途的开发项目设计概念可以追溯到很久以前。

Development for LIFE

After a few design discussion, we realized that the design created for specific functions and certain demographics is Western. Developments in the East prefer flexibilities in functions and target groups because mixed-use concept for developments go way back in history.

我们并没有将重点放在针对性很强的老年住宅上，而是提出了“为美好生活而建造开发项目”这一理念，旨在打造从出生伊始到生命最后一天都适合居住的社区。我们致力于打造适合各个年龄阶段且具备多种功能的开发项目。这与老年住宅研究结果相吻合，即一个健康的环境应该让所有年龄阶段的人士都能从中获得良好平衡。

Instead of focusing on targeted senior residences, we proposed Development for LIFE concept, to create communities of suitable for a residence from birth until the last day of life. We focus on creating a variety of functions for all age groups. This coincides with senior residence study, that a healthier environment is when that is a good balance in residences of all age group.

建筑师非常重视灵活性，例如房间布局随时可以改变，能够满足不同生活环境的需求，可以从适合健康年轻人居住的住宅变成适合使用轮椅和提供辅助的生活环境，即卧室可以变成放置病床，配备一名全职护理人员的生活区。

Architects place much emphasis on FLEXIBILITY, such as the room-layout that can transform to support all living conditions from a young, healthy residence to wheelchair users and assisted living condition, where bedroom can be turned into a patient bed with a living quarter of a full-time caretaker.
