Lib common areas — a quality standard that defines the art of living

Choosing a living environment is more than choosing an apartment. It’s choosing an atmosphere, philosophy, and your own personal lifestyle.

Lib’s common areas aren’t just additional features but an integral part of the experience. They reflect our commitment to providing a modern, stress-free, and active lifestyle, at your own rhythm.

Lib: a standardized chain of residential complexes committed to quality

Standardization doesn’t mean uniformity. For Lib, this means providing a seamless and reassuring experience, regardless of the complex, while respecting the environment, lighting, rhythm, and identity of each location.

Our standards guarantee:

high-quality sustainable design
functional and welcoming spaces
ongoing maintenance
a fluid, uncompromising experience

Result: Lib’s DNA is visible in every detail, yet it never feels like it’s been copied and pasted.

Common areas designed to be experienced

Lib’s common areas are designed to provide social interactions, relaxing moments and exciting activities, without any obligation or pressure. You can use them however you like, depending on your mood.

Lounge-style living room

Featured in all Libs, the lounge-style living room is a central, warm, and bright area. It’s a place to sit and chat, read, entertain friends and family, or simply enjoy a quiet moment. Some complexes even have a panoramic lounge, where the view becomes a true everyday luxury.

Culinary space

The culinary space is a naturally inviting place where people can share a meal, enjoy an activity, or simply spend quality time together. It’s perfect for casual and spontaneous conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.

Billiards room

A beloved classic, the billiards room is one of Lib’s signature features. It’s the ideal place for friendly games, relaxation, and casual get-togethers.

Pool or spa

In most Lib complexes, the indoor pool is a standard feature of the common areas, which is appreciated for relaxation and wellness. In some cases, a spa is available instead. This alternative standard is fully aligned with our vision of comfort and quality of life. A nuance that illustrates our ability to adapt, without ever compromising the Lib experience.

Gym

Featured in every Lib complex, the gym is designed to promote accessible, safe, and adapted physical activity. With us, residents can stay active at their own pace in a modern and welcoming environment.

Outdoor spaces with a BBQ

Lib’s outdoor spaces are designed so you can fully enjoy the nice weather. There are patios, rest areas, BBQs, and green spaces where you can spend time outdoors as if it were an extension of your living environment.

Outdoor games

Each complex has different outdoor games, which give every Lib a unique touch while keeping the fun and active spirit that defines us.

Vibrant spaces, a dynamic lifestyle

Because a place only comes alive when it’s inhabited, there is an activities coordinator in every Lib complex.
The activities coordinator’s role is to facilitate activities, create opportunities for social interaction and encourage people to use the common areas, while respecting their pace and preferences.

An all-inclusive experience, stress-free

One of the great advantages of living in a Lib complex is simplicity. Access to the common areas and activities is an integral part of the Lib experience and is included in the rent.

Nothing to calculate, no admin work: just the freedom to fully enjoy your living environment with peace of mind, knowing everything has been taken care of.

A comforting standard and inspiring lifestyle

Lib’s common areas embody our commitment: to provide a seamless, welcoming, and sustainable living environment. Our standards deliver quality. Our human-centred approach preserves charm. And our vision gives everyone the opportunity to embrace this new chapter with confidence.

Choosing Lib is choosing a quality standard and having the freedom to fully enjoy it.

What’s next?

Lib is here to support you every step of the way. Your comfort, well-being, and peace of mind are our top priorities. This transition is the beginning of a new adventure, which can be a wonderful experience!

3 good reasons to drink water every day when you’re over 55 – Josée Lavigueur: Lib Active!

We all know that water is life, but after the age of 55, staying hydrated becomes even more important for your health and wellbeing. Here are three excellent reasons to keep your water bottle handy… all the time!

Maintain good energy

Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. The good news is that drinking a glass of water can give you the boost you need to feel more alert and energetic!

Protect your joints and muscles

Water lubricates joints and supports muscle function. It’s important to keep moving without putting too much pressure on them - staying hydrated plays a key role in that.

Optimize your digestion

As we age, the digestive system may slow down. Drinking water can prevent constipation and help you maintain regular bowel movements.

In this short video clip, the ever-bubbly Josée Lavigueur reminds you why it’s important to stay hydrated every day. Something so simple can make a big difference!

Three good reasons to strengthen your legs after the age of 55 — Josée Lavigueur: Lib Active!

It’s perfectly normal for our bodies to start changing in our fifties, but that’s no reason to slow down! However, it’s the perfect time to focus on your muscle strength, especially in your legs. Here’s why:

Remain autonomous

Strong legs are the key to remain autonomous longer. Climbing stairs, walking on uneven ground, getting up from a chair… all of these activities are easier with strong and muscular legs.

Prevent falls

With age, balance becomes more difficult. By strengthening your quadriceps, hamstrings and calves, you improve your stability and reduce the risk of falling, thus preventing potential serious consequences.

Stimulate blood circulation

Moving your legs is also good for the heart! Muscular exercise promotes better circulation, which helps prevent varicose veins, numbness, and even certain cardiovascular problems.

In this video, Josée Lavigueur demonstrates an excellent squat exercise that you can do at home, with a simple chair. It’s safe, accessible and perfect to gently strengthen your legs. It’s good for everyone, from beginners to those more advanced.

Three good reasons to strengthen your triceps after the age of 55 — Josée Lavigueur: Lib Active!

If you’re over 55, you might think that strength training is only for younger people. However, strengthening your triceps is an excellent way to stay fit and autonomous. Here are three good reasons to start exercising—or step up your routine!

Preserve your functional strength

Your triceps play a key role in everyday movements like carrying groceries, lifting a suitcase, and getting up from a chair. Maintaining their strength will help you remain autonomous.

Protect your articulations

Having well-trained muscles around the shoulders and elbows helps stabilize the joints and reduces the risk of injuries. This is especially true for triceps, which tend to be neglected even though they are equally important.

Improve your posture and appearance

Toned arms improve your posture, and they also boost self-confidence. Who says you can’t have beautiful arms when you’re over 55?

Looking for inspiration? We are excited to introduce our new fitness videos with the dynamic Josée Lavigueur: Lib Active! She will teach you simple triceps exercises that you can integrate into your everyday routine.
