Apartments for those with specialist support needs
For many people with disabilities they are dependent on in home care or facilities that are specially equipped to deal with their needs. This means, for many, that they never get to live on their own, or obtain the sort of independence many other people get to experience.

Nature and Context

Many people with disabilities would be fully capable of living on their own with just a little assistance. Creating living spaces that use technology to monitor the health and safety of the tenant, and providing remote or onsite support if necessary, could help thousands of people transition to a life of independence never before thought possible.
