Dementia nursing home community clad and protected with steel. Forgetful?
...Well don’t worry because Aarhus Municipality and Aarstiderne Arkitekter remembered everything with these nursing home buildings, specially designed for residents with dementia and their families. Care, comfort and a homely atmosphere have been incorporated into the beautiful architecture with safe residences and a secure outdoor area.
Aarhus Municipality took the first official step to become a dementia-friendly city in 2017. One of the projects included the creation of this nursing home community and residents from the previous DemensCentrum Aarhus were able to move into the new buildings on Skovvang in April and May 2021.
A “protected” community clad in steel
The architects have really “drawn with steel profiles” on this project – steel façades, steel roof and steel flashing for windows and doors. The residential buildings create a small “protected community” in the heart of Aarhus, with a charming courtyard on different levels, where people can take a safe walk in their neighbourhood without leaving the area.
The entire building is clad in steel profiles – here DS Nordic Click Seam and DS Frame System have found a very eye-catching and stylish home.
Specially produced flashing completes steel cladding
DS Frame System is a new and extremely professional solution for flashing for windows and doors. It is also hugely popular with tradesmen. DS Frame System is delivered to the construction site as an “assembly kit”, made to pre-ordered dimensions and therefore does not need to be cut or processed on the construction site. All you have to do is install it!
DS Frame System is supplied in steel in all standard colours and in copper and aluminium.
Steel profiles are often used for roof and façade cladding on institutional buildings.
