Caritas-Altenhilfe (Caritas care for the elderly) has built a new nursing home in the former Cistercian monastery of Zoffingen in Constance. It serves as a replacement for the St. Marienhaus, which could not be adapted to the regulations of the new home building ordinance. Together with werkgruppe drei and Caritas, we developed the new construction and the refurbishment of the existing building in line with the preservation order. The newly designed ensemble represents an important city building block and characterises the view of the old town.
Haus Zoffingen offers 90 inpatient care places in cosy single rooms, 15 short-term care places, 17 day care places, a chapel, a garden for residents and a public cafeteria with a green outdoor area and water oasis under an imposing copper beech tree that is over 700 years old.
