2+1, bruno rollet‘s first of the two konekti houses, incorporates a surrounding promenade sheltered from bad weather, while residents can enter via a glasshouse that creates a strong connection to the outside world. the single-story, 120 sqm structure features a planted flat roof and profits from the latest automation technologies linked to the home environment (home ergonomics, fall prevention systems, etc.) particularly, the house is linked to the geriatrics unit in the neighboring polyclinic through telemedicine equipment, which helps avoid a large number of hospital visits.

5+1, the second connected house, is clad in chalk white enamel tiles, typical of this part of france and is topped with a sloped roof. with a surface area of 153 m2, it is intended for a family with children, as well as an older or working person, and integrates a studio apartment that offers alternative ways of living together.
