Living Architecture
Living Architecture is a not-for-profit holiday home rental company in the United Kingdom.[1][2] It was founded by philosopher and writer Alain de Botton, who launched the scheme in 2010 in what its website claims is the first programme of its kind.[3] The aim is to make exceptional buildings available for more people to experience by commissioning them from leading architects as holiday homes.
