Alternative living refers to lifestyles that differ from conventional living arrangements such as communal living, tiny homes, and homes specially designed to withstand natural disasters. These new ways of living have emerged due to several reasons like flexibility, sustainability, financial limitations, evolving lifestyles, a desire for simplicity, and minimalism, as well as rising environmental concerns.   

Along with companies that provide these living arrangements, there are also those that provide supportive solutions which are integrated into these homes such as multipurpose furniture, smart storage solutions, sleep pods, etc. These innovations enhance these new ways of living and provide added comfort for occupants, enabling them to live fully within their chosen lifestyles.
