In working with artists and other live/workers over the years, we have observed different approaches to configuring live/work spaces. The names we use to describe these configurations or unit types indicate the relationship between the work and living activities practiced by their inhabitants.
These names are:
![]()
live/work
![]()
work/live
![]()
home occupation

We have also coined terms to describe the relationship of proximity between the work space and the living space within an individual live/work unit. These proximity types are all forms of what we call Zero Commute Housing.
These terms are:
![]()
live-with
![]()
live-near
![]()
live-nearby
