A house that does not overwhelm
Six design principles that make the difference between a dwelling and a home.
Acoustics
Impact sound insulation between all homes, soft ceilings and textile in the corridors. No echo, no hearing the neighbours walk.
Light
As much daylight as possible, dimmable artificial light without flicker, no fluorescent tubes. Every room adjustable on its own.
Colour and material
Calm, matt tones. No high gloss, no busy patterns, natural materials wherever possible.
A way out
Every shared room has a second exit and a quiet alcove, so you are never stuck in a situation.
Zoning
From loud to quiet: café and entrance on the street, workshops in the middle, homes on the quiet side.
Your own call
You decide who comes in and when. Control over your own sensory world is not a favour; it is the starting point.
Support that moves with you
Four levels. The bar shows how much support belongs to each — from someone nearby day and night to one conversation a week.
Daily structure, personal care, help with tension and behaviour.
Fixed support moments. Help with finances, the household and appointments.
On call through the app, and joining the programme whenever you want to.
A temporary stay in the practice flat: trying out independent living, with a safety net.
Moving on is the point
Someone who moves from intensive to light frees up a place and shows that it works. Someone who falls back does not lose their home.
Your tenancy stands apart from your care agreement
Anyone who needs less care keeps their home. Anyone who changes care provider does not have to move. The basic rent stays deliberately below the housing benefit threshold, so that living here is affordable on a Wajong disability benefit.
- Your own front door, your own thermostat
- Rent and care arranged separately
- Support can go down without consequences for your home
Spectrum will only happen if enough people say they want it
That is not a figure of speech: municipalities and funders literally ask us for numbers. Signing up commits you to nothing and there is no intake procedure.
