Mesh network with 2 switches - possible?

Star I
Hello,
I have two joined apartments (#1 and #2). In each one I have a telecommunication box and Ethernet cables between the box and individual rooms in that apartment. There is also one ethernet cable between the telecommunication box in apartment #1 and the telecommunication box in apartment #2.
But there are no direct ethernet cables between the telecommunication box in apartment #1 and individual rooms in apartment #2, or the other way around.
My plan is to:
1. put my ISP modem, a main Mesh router and a switch (switch #1) in the telecommunication box in apartment #1 (and connect them via Ethernet)
2. connect 3 Mesh satellites (via Ethernet) in apartment #1 to switch #1
3. put a second switch (switch #2) in the telecommunication box in apartment #2
4. connect Switch #1 and Switch #2 via Ethernet
5. connect Switch #2 and 2 Mesh Satellites in Apartment #2 via Ethernet
My objective is to:
- create one common Mesh Wifi network for both apartments, with wired Ethernet backhaul connections
- be able to use Wifi backhaul (in case I want to put a satellite in a room where I don’t have an ethernet cable)
- be able to connect via Ethernet a client device (e.g. laptop) to each of the Mesh satellites.
I have the following questions:
a) Is it possible to create the network described above?
b) which systems would be suitable for this network? I am mainly interested in consumer/home product line (for ease of use), but if business solutions would be better for the job, that’s ok too;
c) which switches would be suitable for this network?
