Context

Construction + Design Studio (2018)

The aim of this project is to create, on the one hand, spaces for sharing between generations and, on the other hand, spaces reserved exclusively for young people and their needs.


The sharing spaces are workshops, a kitchen and a lounge that encourage informal exchanges. The first floor, wrapped in qajaq canvas, lets you guess at the silhouettes. It acts as a nest for calmer activities or restorative solitude. The House’s location, close to schools, incites youth to come do their homework, get together with friends, attend classes given by seniors, or have access to a roof for the night.
