Lifemark® rated homes are designed to be usable and safe for people of all ages and stages. They are easy to live in – for a lifetime.

Lifemark® work alongside designers and builders to offer advice on how to make best use of space in a home, based on the principles of Universal Design. Any new home design and any size home can be Lifemark® rated. It’s about designing to have space in the right place.

Lifemark is a 5 star rating system for houses based on aging in place. It includes intelligent design features that meet the needs of people of different ages and abilities and avoids barriers that may discriminate against people living in or visiting the home.

Lifemark™ homes are designed to be usable by a variety of people over their lifetime, without the need for major adaptation in the future.
