This document discusses lessons for designing housing for older people based on projects by Sarah Wigglesworth Architects. It emphasizes creating high-quality housing that contributes to its urban context through distinctive design, dialogue with existing structures, and recognition of a location's uniqueness. The housing aims to provide flexibility and longevity through adaptable layouts, shared outdoor spaces that encourage social interaction, and barrier-free access. The goal is to design housing that meets regulations but also supports residents' well-being and quality of life throughout their lives.
