show rooms/sample rooms Explanation: cellule témoin for apartment could either be the apartment just like the explanation below for model housing. However here you are asking about Cellules des témoins which suggest that it is the builders responsability to organise rooms that hold a number of samples possibly within the model homes so that people can see a variety of fittings etc. model house Terme(s) apparenté(s) model home maison témoin n. f. Variante(s) graphique(s) maison-témoin n. f. Terme(s) à éviter maison modèle Note(s) : Utilisé comme adjectif, le mot « modèle » est synonyme de « bon », « édifiant », « exemplaire ». Pour qualifier les maisons, il faut un mot capable de faire comprendre qu'elles sont là pour attester le genre et la qualité de celles qui seront construites sur leur modèle. Ce mot, c'est témoin. [Office de la langue française, 1990] |
