C O N C E P T

”Personal stuff makes it feel like it’s my space. And comfortability that you

have everything you need. Like a nice bed etc…”

25 YEARS OLD - STUDENT - CORRIDOR FLAT MATES

” I think it’s a lot about who you are with rather than the space in my own

experience. I like a lot of light and lamps and candles. A lot of cozy spaces

and furniture.”

19 YEARS OLD - HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT - FAMILY

”I feel like it’s about being around your own. But also to have your own

belongings. Like clothes and toiletry bags.”

47 YEARS OLD - ASSISTANT LECTURER - FAMILY

”We have renovated and made the house our own, like how

you want it. That makes you feel at home.”

52 YEARS OLD - THEATRE NURSE - FAMILY

” Having a choice over your belongings and space. Having a

say in your own space”
