The Live/Work Institute is a non-profit organization which was founded by Thomas Dolan to advocate, encourage, and assist the development of Live/Work and Zero Commute Housing, and to collect, organize and disseminate information about it.
The sections that follow present information about the various forms that live/work can take and the relationship of work spaces to living spaces within individual units, as well as investigating the potential for a well-designed live-work complex to encourage the growth of community among its residents. We additionally include a comprehensive discussion of planning and building issues related to developing live/work spaces.
