Abstract

This paper presents a blueprint and CG (computer graphics) of a newly designed elderly welfare facility in Korea. This new facility combines the characteristics of hanok, a Korean traditional house, with the unit-care type facility to provide a more efficient caring environment for the elderly. A lot of the elderly in Korea are accustomed to living in a hanok than in concrete apartments. The unit-care type of facility, with the addition of hanok, will provide the elderly with a comfortable set-up, and thus increase the quality of the healthcare program. Using the findings of this study, the facility manager, architects, and engineers may utilize the concept of combining the use of the hanok and the unit-care type of facility to construct a home-like care facility.
