A home designed to bring generations together
Intergenerational transformation
Today’s families are evolving, and their needs are changing. Intergenerational transformation is our response to a reality: we create harmonious living spaces where multiple generations can coexist comfortably, independently, and share precious moments.
Whether you want to create a separate home for aging parents or a self-contained space for young adults, we design smart solutions that respect everyone’s privacy while fostering family bonds. Your home becomes an adaptable and welcoming place for everyone, for the long term.

Do you have questions? That’s normal. We answer them here.
Are specific permits required for this type of transformation?
Yes. As this transformation involves a change of use and major modifications, renovation permits are required. Your project must comply with your municipality’s specific regulations regarding intergenerational housing.
How can we design space to maintain intimacy while promoting proximity?
The design should balance autonomy and sharing. The intergenerational unit should have its own living spaces (living room, kitchen, bathroom) while still allowing easy access to the main house. Adding a separate entrance for the secondary unit is often preferred.
How are services (electricity, heating, plumbing) managed?
Although the building remains a single structure, services can be adapted for the secondary unit. It is possible to install secondary meters or separate heating and ventilation systems for the new unit to better manage consumption and comfort.
