With the growing number of seniors in our societies and the changes in their lifestyle, it is necessary to rethink our vision of housing to conceive homes that better meet their new expectations. Find out about the proposals of our think tank, guided by the French sociologist Serge Guérin, to contribute to ageing well in place.
A residence that can be personalized is a pre-equipped residence, that technically adapts to senior needs over time and that respects their living habits above all.
It must satisfy four criteria:
– Ensuring the safety of residents
– Respecting people’s privacy and living habits
– Helping maintain social connections
– Facilitating intervention of possible caregivers
Examples of simple and inexpensive equipment that can be integrated starting in the initial design phase:
For the tenant:
– Adaptations carried out at the entrance to the residence, less limiting
– Residences not seen as stigmatizing
– Adaptations targeted to real individual needs
– A residence that adapts to changes in the individual
For the housing provider:
– Anticipation of changing tenant needs
– Savings on additional costs of later adaptations
– Lower turnover
– Pre-equipping makes it possible to remedy the lack of training of involved companies
To learn more about this proposal, check out our “Ageing well at home” brochure.

Across the world, nearly 200 m3 of concrete is poured every second. Concrete is one of the most widely used industrial products - even more so than oil. Although we know all about its advantages in terms of land development, its drawbacks are significant. It is one of the major sources of CO2 emissions due to its cement content. About one billion tonnes of CO2 is released each year in the world by the cement industry. In the face of such global challenges and future changes in urbanisation, a revolution in construction methods is beginning. How can the construction sector commit to becoming more carbon-free?
