Given the growing demand for specialized housing for the elderly, it is essential to consider the housing project based on criteria not only geriatric but also gerontological. Considering fragilities that older people can present, the lack of interpersonal contacts, and/or stimulation, there are certain project aspects that can contribute positively. Starting with a view on the partial demolition of the De Drei Hoven residence by H. Hetzberger, a model in the 1970s, new organizational principles are discussed opened to the urban layout, and which make a wider range with a multi-generational presence possible. In a review of the project and program aspects, three strategies are detected: attraction magnet, road cutting, and program overlapping. There is a tendency related to the will to make the building permeable, seeking to potentialize social contact and active life.
