Build a Dream Home for Children
A Safe and Therapeutic Home!
Evangel Children’s Home Main Building is over 60 years old, with aging building and dilapidation problems. The interior layout of hostels can no longer meet the service needs of the new era, making it imperative to carry out construction and major interior renovations on the original site! In addition to addressing safety hazards, the project will incorporate the concept of “Trauma-informed Care” services, creating spaces and upgrading facilities to provide vulnerable children with a safe and healing home that meets their needs and nurtures their future!
The Project Objectives
- To improve the living environment for residential home care services beneficiaries (children aged 6-18), meeting their needs for safety and functional needs of daily life.
- To create a home in where the safety, comfort, emotional security and therapeutic purposes of the beneficiaries are secured, helping them grow holistically.
Age-specific Design in Different Floors
Children aged 6-12, teenagers aged 11-16, youth aged 15-18
- Primary school residents need more leisure/group living space
- Secondary school residents need more privacy and study space
“Trauma-informed Care”Design Reimagining a Home healing Body, Mind, Soul and Connect
Create a home that heals the body and mind, nourishes the soul, and fosters a sense of belonging through the incorporation of "Trauma-informed Care" service concept to the design, bringing about positive change for vulnerable children.
