The 32-unit retirement home is organized around a garden and offers a welcoming, friendly, intimate and practical environment at the same time, favouring the well-being of the residents. The accommodation and common areas are suitable for people with reduced mobility (limited heights, handrails in circulation areas, choice of flexible non-slip flooring, etc.). The tenants have a local catering service integrated into the residence. The living room and the dining room have been designed as meeting places and contribute to the conviviality of the residence. Particular attention has been paid to the choice of materials and colors as well as to the treatment of light.
