Housing has taken on a new meaning today. We've never spent so much time in our homes before. We were not aware of what they offer us, and what they lack. And there lies the problem, in what they do not offer us.
Eight out of ten seniors express a desire to be able to live in their own home without having to leave it. This leads us to rethink current models.
Our aim is to move towards a housing model that encourages people's autonomy and helps us to remain active and healthy as we grow old, and that respects our lifestyle, needs and preferences regardless of our age.
