The main purpose of this publication is to address design considerations applicable when remodelling existing owner occupied dwellings in the Republic of Ireland to meet the needs of the ageing Irish population. The paper begins with statistics illustrating increasing need for the issue to be seriously addressed. It subsequently moves on to analyse physical and mental aspects of ageing and typical housing conditions in which the Irish older population live. All of these aspects are then taken into account in a presentation of general and detailed design considerations. A case study, which demonstrates the application of most of them in a real life scenario, follows. The policy and legislation applicable in the Republic of Ireland are discussed, and finally the paper arrives at conclusions.

Celem tej publikacji jest zwrócenie uwagi na rozwiązania projektowe mające zastosowanie przy przeprojektowywaniu zamieszkałych przez właścicieli istniejących domów mieszkalnych w Republice Irlandii na potrzeby starzejącej się populacji irlandzkiej. Na początek podano dane statystyczne ilustrujące wzrastającą potrzebę poważnego wzięcia pod uwagę tej kwestii. Następnie zanalizowano fizyczne i psychiczne aspekty starzenia się oraz typowe warunki mieszkaniowe, w których żyje większość starszych Irlandczyków. Po wzięciu powyższych pod uwagę zaprezentowano ogólne i szczegółowe rozwiązania projektowe, poparte przykładem pokazującym zastosowanie większości z nich w realnej sytuacji. Po przyjrzeniu się sposobom postępowania i prawodawstwu w Irlandii nastąpiło przejście do konkluzji końcowych.
