For many elderly people, assisted living is the best option for continuing a self-determined life, at least to a large extent, while combining it with necessary care services. That’s why the township of Markt Reichenberg had rebuilt a historic former farm property, located at the town’s castle hill, into a senior citizen residence. The group of buildings comprises a multi-family house with two selfmanaged flat-sharing communities and four individual apartments. The farm which consisted of a main building and a quarry stone and halftimbered barn dating back to the 16th century, was restructured, rebuilt and extended under the direction of the Würzburg-based architectural company Stahl Lehrmann.

The upholstered seat and back shell with its sophisticated ergonomics assures high seating comfort, and the pommel at the end of the armrest makes getting up easier. Moreover, the seat and back covers can be removed and cleaned easily. The four-legged tables even accommodate wheelchairs. The beech wood frame creates a cosy atmosphere. Beside 16 comfortable high-back chairs in a friendly and light hue, stackable chairs in avocado and terracotta colours create lively accents. In the visitor area, a suite with bench, armchair and sofa table extends a warm welcome for a cosy get-together.
