MEANING

“Home represents the emotional and psychological significance of our selves.

Collaboration with a developer, project sponsors, and support providers benefits from the reminder a home is more than just a building or shelter; it is a sanctuary of MEANING - love, belonging, and authenticity.

For someone who doesn't have a stable home, whether due to economic hardship, displacement, or other reasons, the impact of receiving a home is life-changing.

A HOME must allow for self-expression where the occupant can surround themselves with objects and memories that resonate with who they are and what they cherish.

Collaborators can allow the HOME to be born by allowing the occupant to install their personality, values, and identity.

A home designed with a COLLABORATIVE heart considers values like natural light, flow of movement, comfort, and sustainability, while incorporating elements that evoke emotions and memories. It's about infusing personal values such as opportunities for purposeful retreat, a well lit corner that offers visual perspective, or opportunities for winter morning joy.

Development team COLLABORATION must create spaces that nourish the soul and enhance quality of life - to give HOME MEANING.

Ways to collaborate with MEANING include:

-Understand the Community: Take the time to truly understand the needs, desires, and values of the community where the development project will take place.

-Agree on an intent to COLLABORATE passionately and respectfully with a diverse range of chosen Stakeholders

-Prioritise Human-Centered Design: Adopt a human-centered design approach that places people at the center of the development process.
