Commune was born from the analysis of a gap between the pace of change in our way of life and the evolution of the way we occupy an accommodation. The model of the nuclear family and a single household for several decades is no longer the norm and single-parent families are often left behind.
21st century families are multiple and unique at the same time, and face very specific needs at certain times in their lives. Commune thus offers a turnkey housing and service solution, accessible to single-parent families, residences offering private living spaces and meeting spaces designed so that single parents and their children can live and grow up peacefully!
Extendam and Mont-Blanc Collection acquire Hôtel des Gourmets in Chamonix Mont-Blanc
The 38-room hôtel will encounter some refurbishment to reach a fourth star. Anchored in his territory, the hotel will stay a human scale place, trademark of Mont-Blanc Collection group.

How to build in a world that changes so quickly and whose future design seems increasingly complex to guess? What are the questions that architects and urban planners are asking themselves today, in a climate and way of life’s changes context ?
For Dominique Boré, Honorary President of the Maison de l’architecture d’Île-de-France and Commissioner of Unisson(s) movement, we have to get out of the experimentation stage. Project owners must integrate regulations into their programs and budgets in order to industrialize processes. The RE2020 sets thresholds to be reached, leaving the architect free to choose his path to reach them. For the first time, a French law takes into account territories, geography, climate and resources all together to adapt housing. The architect must therefore come to terms with this new palette, making it a new basis for creativity and creation.
