Article source: Atelier Zündel Cristea This retirement home is being built in Monconseil Urban Development Zone (ZAC in France), in the city of Tours. The project, which consists of 81 beds spread across three units, was defined from the beginning by specifications that sought to take up and organize an ideal amount of the site’s surfaces. The building has the shape of a “U”, composed of three parts.  Image Courtesy © Sergio GRAZIA

Its upstairs floors contain the two units for traditional accommodation, while its ground floor contains communal living areas. It is partially built so as to free up, a main entrance area for the public.

It houses all the technical premises, along with the central kitchen, and is extended by a service courtyard.
