As well as the Rosstat data confirming the relevance of studying this topic. Examples of foreign experience in designing and building houses for older persons show a developed functional composition of premises along with the function of accommodation and care - medical care, leisure, trade, sports, nutrition and multifunctional spaces to ensure social interaction of different groups of the population. The study identified a method of “functional improvement” aimed at developing optimal functional interactions between public and residential spaces. A conceptual design has been developed according to the “dynamic” scheme, showing the inclusion of residential blocks in the multifunctional complex. It is determined that in Russia it is necessary to introduce modern approaches adapted to Russian conditions, based on foreign experience. This will increase the consumer qualities of the facility and the level of comfort of living for older people, which is undoubtedly important, will ensure social interaction through the introduction of educational and leisure functions, as well as improve the environmental and aesthetic qualities of the environment.
