” … Grandma, Dad, Mom and us … ”

Kangaroo housing

The meeting of generations under the same roof is in the air of time… many advantages, some disadvantages too… but the balance is certainly positive! To be able to count on each other, to grow up and grow old surrounded by the people we love, to blossom in benevolence… to achieve these objectives, the Cerf home has been designed in such a way as to stimulate this philosophy of life while preserving for each person the intimacy and autonomy he or she needs… as much in terms of the interior spaces as in terms of the exterior fittings.

In the hydroponic greenhouse, granny passes on her gardening secrets to her grandchildren while the parents go about their business… in short, everyone wins!
