The aim of the competition is to design new, flexible solutions to attract families with children to the city.
These urban homes have to fit into a program that defines the needs of the target clientele and the site:
A- first-time homebuyers
B- families with teenagers
C- families with a working parent
(CCC text)
Theme B: Housing for families with teenagers
The families targeted here are generally in their second residence; for the purposes of the competition, we can imagine that there are two spouses, both working, and that the children use the services offered downtown: colleges and universities, workplaces, recreational and cultural facilities.
The preferred design criteria would be privacy and flexibility. For example, we can envisage a spatial organization of the home in which parents and children would have distinct activity and rest zones, as well as visual and acoustic privacy. Preferably, the homes would feature two full bathrooms, two living areas and two separate entrances.
In addition, it is likely that teenagers will eventually move into their own homes, so the spatial organization should be adaptable: integration of the space into a single dwelling, creation of a self-contained unit that can be rented out, workshop or home office. Such flexibility presupposes a certain versatility of rooms.
