Living Not Beige

Homes, communities, people. We connect lives. company overview here People's lives are too important for this! Living Not Beige creates homes as well as community.

Traditional developers provide 'beige' solutions to housing without concern for liveability, neighbourhood and social development. We engage home buyers, local neighbours, government and service agencies from the first stages in a project. We think, talk and map the interconnections of private, social and community spaces to help people develop relationships in their community. By the time people move into their new homes, they've already met the neighbours and have the structures in place to get involved in decisions that affect their lifestyle and their community. Our homes are tailored to have low environmental impact and low ongoing costs and they have great capacity to open up life connections between residents. Our aim is to support people to foster a culture that draws more broadly on society's resources - building individual and social assets to create strong networks, to share resources, benefit from each other and enrich life.
