ABSTRACT
This article aims to present the potential posed by new technologies in designing housing environment for the seniors, often at advanced age of their lives. This potential if properly harnessed can transform the living space into the sacrum zone. The studied group were the seniors who – as per the data in the statistics kept by the Central Statistical Office – cherished the domestic peace and the household environment most. It has been many times highlighted in the previous research that the space in the house or flat was the most friendly and best perceived option in the context of the senior housing, in particular institutional care for the elderly. New technologies pose a chance for creating health supporting conditions for the seniors to be able to live independently, and thus, for designing “age-friendly housing”. This in turn, entails a chance for private and respectful “ageing in place” that can be respectively adjusted to maintain the balance between psychomotor abilities and the ability to live independently in the domestic peace.
