Studio

The centrally positioned culture building is the flagship of the Rosa Spier House. Accessed through the main entrance, it houses the Anna Stibbe Concert and Theatre Hall, exhibition space, grand café and, on two levels, studios. Adjoining the culture building are two care wings. Residents receive intensive care in these 45 residential-care apartments. Twenty of these are specifically allocated for residents with dementia. Located behind the care unit and on the other side of the culture house are 92 apartments of varying size distributed across four compact residential buildings: The Musician, The Sculptor, The Painter and The Writer. Designed for independent living, these units allow residents to access a garden, balcony or roof terrace and, where required, extra services, support and care facilities. The autonomy of the resident is paramount throughout, and the building facilitates that. Everybody is free to do and they please, smoking is permitted and domestic animals are welcome. Artworks by past and current residents are prominently positioned in the homes, care apartments, shared spaces and outdoors. They provide continuous inspiration and make the house an enjoyable and recognizable place to live.
