This project speculates an experimental building typology on assisted living and acts as an academic investigation into the plausibility of dignity, independence, and intimacy in late-life care within the post-Yugoslavian social and architectural context. It responds to the Serbian government's call for structural reforms in elderly care and proposes a hybrid typology that combines a day activity centre, residential care facility, and a paper recycling workshop.

Through the application of immersive theatre spatial and engagement techniques of interlocking served and service spaces, the carer recedes behind the walls to provide an illusion of self-sufficiency even in moments of assistance.

Designed to accommodate limited mobility, the elderly residents can receive mental stimulation through the ever-changing living spaces, regain a sense of spatial belongingness through privacy ownership in the ‘carer/cared for’ power dynamic, and combat loneliness in the collective community of Blok 28’s residents.
