”Expandable” Single Family Model (Type 1)

In addition to lower cost and faster production, the LBS allows for the unprecedented adaptability of previously ‘fixed’ spaces. The new “expandable” single family
LivingHome by KieranTimberlake is designed to grow with the changing needs of its inhabitants and can be easily reconfigured from a modest 900 sf dwelling for a single person or young couple to a spacious 2,160 sf fourbedroom home for a growing family. LivingHome owners will be able to purchase addition rooms from LivingHomes, when they need them, and LivingHomes will assemble those rooms on site.
