BRIDGING THE GAP
MULTIGENERATIONAL REFTROFIT TORONTO, ONTARIO YEAR 3, MARCH 2023
Project Proposition
Advertisement
The Petersons are seniors in their late 70’s and in fit condition. They are looking to create a multi-generational house that would have their son, daughter-in-law and 4 year old grandson move in. The ability to have a rental unit in the future would help with long-term costs and amortization of the required costs. They are looking for a contemporary minimalistic design for their new home.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to help the Peterson's acclimate to the new lifestyle of living with their family once they move in. The task is to encourage a better quality of life, to continue to live the present moment and in the best possible way with their loved ones at their side.
