Home - Livable

Architecture, both interior and exterior, affects our well-being, emotions and development. Livable designs buildings and interiors that support elderly and people with disabilities to live as pleasantly as possible.

Approach

Livable distinguishes itself by being involved from the very first ideas. It is precisely by approaching from different perspectives in the concept phase that we facilitate multidisciplinary insights into the overall approach to the physical environment. This leads to Livability, both external and internal.

Vision

We see people in all their variety and believe that everyone - with whatever disability - is worthy of living to their full potential. Of course, a condition or disability poses specific demands and limits on the surroundings, but it also offers opportunities.

Our story

Partners

Livable is a collaborative initiative of Kokon Architecture & Urban Design and interior architecture firm Studio id+, in collaboration with various experts. Born out of passion for special care, love for architecture and the ambition to bring both together in a concept with meaning.

Our projects

Hoge Gouwe

On the beautiful Hoge Gouwe canal in Gouda, a residential community home has been designed for the Gemiva SVG group. 27 clients with a intellectual disability can live and recreate here independently. Although care is provided 24/7, the emphasis is on the fact that this is hardly visible from the exterior of the building.

Gooiers Erf

For Gooiers Erf, a care building owned by Inovum, Studio id + created the interior design for eight 'intermediate sections'. These intermediate sections are connecting spaces between the various building sections, which provided space for lifts and (emergency) staircases, but were otherwise not used. Filling in the intermediate sections meant an increase in living space and enjoyment for all residents, without an actual increase in square metres.

Firma Van Buiten

For work-study company Firma van Buiten, we designed a catering facility where everyone in the area around TU Delft can come and have lunch. The company for people distanced from the labour market now organises its catering from this fully circular catering location. Thanks to its look, the greenhouse blends in with its surroundings.

Livable focuses on healthcare parties with complex housing challenges. In the run-up to projects, they can engage Livable to explore, understand and optimise the demand with a broad expertise. This leads to a good project description, and ultimately a building in which care users and care providers can live and operate with optimal happiness.
