“We wanted to build a accommodation to live together,” said Serge Guinard, mayor of Pommeret, during the visit of “La Clé des Champs”, an intergenerational residence that will see the light of day in the town in early 2026. This Tuesday, May 6, Christian Coail, President of the Departmental Council, Véronique Cadual, vice-president in charge of autonomy, as well as the local elected officials. Accompanied by the mayor, they were able to discover the progress of this innovative project at a total cost of € 2.10 million which should bring together several generations in the same living space. “It is halfway between the house and the housing home,” said Nadine Hubert, director general at the town hall. For Patrice Henaff, director of the Pôle d’Économie Social and Solidaire Rich’ess: “The goal of the project and to relearn the collective in a post-Cavid company”.
“This accommodation is intended for people who want to live with others in sharing times,” insists the mayor. Located on an old 8,000 m² ecopate field near the Bourg school, this future residence combines private housing and common areas. Composed of solar panels whose electricity will be redistributed and a bioclimatic hall with straw earth walls, the building is eco-construct. It will include five T3 and T2 dwellings on the floor with PMR standards and can accommodate up to 12 inhabitants. “Three of these accommodation will be specially designed for the elderly,” said the mayor. “The goal is to bring people together in isolation, but also families,” adds Nadine Hubert. “We have already received at least three applications, these are accessible housing, such as social housing,” she said.
Shared activities with Gwitibunan
At the heart of the project, there is the construction of a 150 m² bioclimatic hall which will serve as common space with a kitchen and a dining room capable of accommodating activities related to local associations. It is the Gwitibunan association (all together in Breton) which will ensure the events of the residence which is a stone’s throw from the housing for people with disabilities who welcomed five people with autistic disorders, in early 2024. “The idea is to create a link between the town, the inhabitants of these dwellings and those of the future residence”, presents Anne-Lise Roussel, coordinator of the shared life in Gwitibanan. “We will offer multidisciplinary animations according to the desires and personalities of the residents,” she explains. In addition to the interior facilities, many outdoor spaces enrich the project. A shared vegetable garden, a naturalized playground, as well as an educational pond will be accessible to all.
A public meeting will be organized in early December “to explain to those interested what the spirit of these accommodation is,” concludes the mayor.
