New Case Study explores human-led design for independent living

A new Housing LIN Case Study by Barbara Clarenz of AtkinsRéalis spotlights Horley Independent Living in Surrey, part of the county’s Supported Independent Living Programme.

The scheme redefines social housing through inclusive, sustainable design that supports adults with learning disabilities and autism to live independently and thrive in their community. With 16 adaptable homes and a focus on wellbeing, nature, and connection, this case study shows how housing can truly feel like home.
