The Shared House project for the Simon de Cyrène Association is a social housing development led by the social landlord Les Chalets. It enables communal living between people who have become disabled either at birth or later in life, and their assistants. This is the concept of inclusive housing known as “shared houses.” A shared house brings together several adults with disabilities and able-bodied adults who freely choose to live there and actively participate in community life. Each person has their own private studio and can enjoy shared living spaces (living room, dining room, kitchen, etc.).
These shared houses allow everyone to feel “at home, without being alone.” Managed by house coordinators, they encourage residents to take part in a community that fosters genuine relationships and a sense of fraternity among its members. Residents, both with and without disabilities, engage daily in activities such as workshops and social gatherings that are rooted in the life of the neighborhood and the city. In this way, each resident becomes a creator of social connection.
Located near the Sainte-Germaine Basilica in Pibrac, the project is developed over three levels to adapt to the site’s topography. The ground floor, facing the “ancien chemin de Brax,” is dedicated to shared house services and reserved for staff. The garden level, overlooking the basilica park, accommodates the shared living spaces—kitchen, dining room, and lounges—as well as studios in both wings. The upper floor consists exclusively of studios.
The architectural concept reflects this intention of shared living between able-bodied residents and those with disabilities by placing the main living space at the center of the project, oriented toward views of the valley and directly connected to the patio. Located near the Sainte-Germaine Basilica—within a protected area subject to review by the Architects of Historic Buildings—the project reinterprets the cloister for the 21st century. On the upper floor, continuous walkways allow all residents to enjoy views of the “cloister” garden and the basilica park.
The architecture is carefully crafted, with brickwork that highlights the rhythm of the façade, structured by the interplay of solid and glazed openings. The wooden detailing of the cloister walkway contributes to the project’s distinctive character.
