This purpose was achieved designing and self-constructing new wooden outdoor furniture, in order to encourage the guests to stop and rest in the garden of the house, and a new panoramic terrace which is built over an existing terracing which was unused. Both installations are conceived considering the needs of old people, with the aim of increasing the interaction between guests and visitors within the retirement house.

During the design and construction phases guests could interact with the workshop participant , contributing to the design phase and attending with compassionate curiosity to the construction phase.
