Variable appearance: Livinhome offers variable building form<br />

and sustainability – the house is designed for traditional<br />

or modern methods of construction with CSH Level 4 as a<br />

housing. It is designed to meet London Plan Housing Design<br />

Guide, Lifetime Homes, and Secured by Design, Building for<br />

Life, the Code for Sustainable Homes. Design standards can me<br />

modified to meet specific project needs.<br />

Sustainable Communities: Livinhome makes a strong<br />

contribution to the role of housing in creating and maintaining<br />

sustainable communities. It does this by creating a flexible<br />

model for accommodation that can change from a house, to<br />

duplexes, to single apartments or even offices and shops.<br />

Livinhome houses cater for inclusion, changes in society<br />

particularly an ageing population whose homes can be adapted<br />

to suit lifestyle change. Its flexibility allows modifications<br />

to the house to occur with minimum physical intervention<br />

resulting in reduced displacement for individuals and<br />

communities.<br />

Healthcare in the home: Healthcare and well-being in the home<br />

is central to Livinhome. The design of our homes reflects the<br />

integration of healthcare, including End of Life Care, into the<br />

home.<br />
