Designing for Dementia

Thank you to Saskia Kuliga from German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) for taking time to interview our Director Kimia Benam on this very interesting topic.

Our key design principles when designing for dementia at KB Architects are as following:

Familiarity - Familiar environments to resemble past experiences
Interaction - Ease of interaction with spaces and people
Stimulation - Provoke physical, mental and emotional stimulation
Safety - Provide safe spaces to encourage independence
Healthcare - Integration of healthcare within the domestic domain

If you are also passionate about this topic and would like to share your valuable knowledge with Saskia Kuliga then please do get in touch.
