FURNITURE, INTERIORS & DESIGN
configuration encourages intuitive wayfinding and multiplies opportunities to meet a neighbour, exchange a few words, or be drawn into an activity.
"The common spaces support spontaneous activities," adds Alexa. "Here, residents take charge of community life. There is no programmed calendar of activities organised by the residence."
The billiard room invites friendly games where camaraderie naturally takes hold. Banquettes and tables lend themselves to lively evenings under lighting that soſtens the atmosphere. A large wall-mounted library encourages residents to share their reading. The fluted glass partition filters light, preserving intimacy while maintaining a visual connection with the corridor.
The kitchen area, with its sage green cabinetry, is designed for cooking together and allows residents to host their guests. The large stainless-steel counter and central island encourage collective meal preparation, turning each recipe into a moment of conviviality. A light wood slatted screen wraps the space and creates separation from circulation areas. A sliding curtain allows the space around the large solid wood table to be adjusted, creating either a more intimate or open atmosphere, depending on the group or occasion.
Across the corridor, a dining nook is organised around a large corner banquette and bistro-style tables. Planters punctuate
the space, while a full-height mirror enhances both perspective and brightness.
Finally, the lounge area is undoubtedly the residents’ favourite place to unwind. Centred around a gas fireplace, rounded banquettes and armchairs invite contemplation. Vegetal and mineral tones reinforce the sense of calm. It is a cozy retreat, ideal for reading, quiet conversations, or simply enjoying time together.
Two enclosed rooms complete the ensemble: a small room for more focused board game sessions, and a meeting room equipped for presentations and videoconferencing.
"In retirement, people want to enjoy life, stay active, and keep moving – and the space reflects these aspirations: living in an environment that supports activity, autonomy, and sociability,” says Nicola Tardif-Bourdages, designer, founder, and president of Taktik Design.
Here, every space has been designed to encourage social life while respecting each individual’s pace and wellbeing. The result is a delicate balance between community and intimacy, supported by custom-designed elements that foster connection and shared experiences.
