This is a nursing home (for elderly people)  designed for the countryside, where they are much more comfortable because of the proximity of nature.

The task was to create not just a house but a kind of environment for life.

It looks like it's just a small village. Moreover all the houses are interconnected by galleries: you can go from one end of the village to the other.

The village consists of "inflorescences": three houses around the living room. This is a cluster principle. Eight people and three nurses live in each inflorescence. Two to three people can live in each room.
