A welcome home for everyone - every day of your life

All over the world people are changing the way they design their homes so that they are more accessible, more adaptable and work for everyone – regardless of age, stage or mobility. 

New Zealand is now part of a global movement toward accessible and adaptable design features which recognise today’s changing population.  Here in New Zealand this movement is represented by the Lifemark, the seal of approval which is endorsed by Lifetime Design.

About the Lifemark seal of approval

Now there’s a way to identify an accessible, adaptable and inclusive design home that works for everybody, for a lifetime of enjoyment.  Simple design features such as wider doorways, level entries, adaptable bathrooms and easy to use fixtures and fittings ensure Lifetime Designed houses are accessible and workable for everyone.

Lifemark does not build homes, nor does it sell them.  The Lifemark seal of approval lets you know that a home has been designed according to the five Lifetime Design Principles: usability, adaptability,accessibility, inclusion and  lifetime value.

A Lifemark identifies that a home has been designed for a lifetime of enjoyment.  It demonstrates that a home will give everyone – you, your family and your friends – the freedom to move and feel right at home.
