In this chapter, we explore the role of home making within architectural imaginaries of care for the future. Specifically, we aim to understand better how existing models of care can be challenged by architectural designs that are culturally situated, and attuned to the spatial contexts of care. We review our findings from a specific proposal submitted to an international design competition on housing for later life, the ‘Growing Old in Bow’ design, by Harper Perry Architects. This design draws on literary history as much as architectural theory to configure the care landscape as ‘refracted autobiography’. Through attending to the architects’ use of materialities and urban vernacular design in the plan, we argue for a greater attention to the ways in which everyday affects, material cultures and social practices are accommodated in architecture for later life.
