Sensory & Reminiscence Elements for an Eldercare Facility

Area: 1120 sqm
Completion: 2021 

The Therapeutic Garden is a dementia-friendly garden designed using an evidence-based approach arising from research in environmental psychology. Based on a multisensory approach in design, the garden is segmented into 5 sensory zones and a reminiscence zone where visitors can observe and interact with the various plants and garden features.

The garden provides a space for respite for both residents, visiting family members, as well as the staff. The garden also incorporates features that facilitate therapeutic horticulture, using plants and plant-related activities to help people improve their well-being.
