Creating this project, two different, current issues were taken into consideration: the future of abandoned villages and the future of living as a person with dementia. The idea of community housing is one of the possible future outcomes for an empty village. Why has housing for elderly with dementia been taken into consideration as a potential future of the village? Because it presents a rising problem we’ve known about from the past, but few solutions have been given for the future. The proposal of community living offers an alternative solution for the present situation of either staying in an institutional elderly home or receiving home care. It seeks for the middle way between the two. The chosen village Pristava offers many living qualities, from direct contact with nature, pleasant, warm and sunny climate, to unique ambients and typical local exterior. The latter is especially important for the aging population in the area as it helps with daily space and time orientation.
