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 />

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 />
