Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to describe the process that has been carried out for the adaptation of the housing for the elderly model to the Spanish context. Under the perspective of architectural design, new solutions have been implemented for defining an alternative to institutional models. The interest of Lugaritz lifetime homes lies in its innovative approach, which works from two different perspectives, home care and design, both with a common purpose: ageing in place. It is also important to highlight its aim to create knowledge that makes this project a replicable and scalable example from a perspective based on participation, inclusion and design for change.
