This shift reflects a growing understanding of housing not simply as an individual, self-contained space, but as a platform for relationships, exchange and mutual support.

Cleanliness is no longer just a matter of aesthetics; it has become a health and environmental issue. The home is a vulnerable ecosystem, when it should be a place of safety and good health.

Far from being merely a place of rest, the home has become the centre of everyday life, absorbing functions that once took place in other settings – the office, the gym, a restaurant or even the cinema.

Today, more people live alone than at any other time in history, and single-person households are the fastest growing household type worldwide (Source: Euromonitor). Living alone has become a trend driven by a combination of social, economic and cultural factors.

This trend, which prioritises a space’s efficiency, has resulted in the development of living models that combine privacy with shared spaces.

Resilience flows from people to the home, and concepts like multi-function, transformable and versatile fill spaces so they can adapt to the needs of their inhabitants at every stage of their lives.

Home expands its meaning, as it can now be the people: the friends, family and communities that nurture and sustain you.
