We see potential where others see empty space. Our mission is simple: to bring vacant buildings back to life in a way that benefits everyone - property owners, local communities and the people who live and work in our cities.
We do this through a model called property guardianship. It’s an innovative approach to security and housing that allows people - known as guardians - to live in vacant commercial or residential buildings at a significantly reduced cost. In return, guardians help look after and care for the property, ensuring it stays safe, secure and well maintained.
Whether it's a disused office, a former care home or an old pub, we transform underused buildings into affordable, flexible living spaces. For us, it's not just about housing, it’s about creating vibrant, temporary communities and giving new life to spaces that would otherwise go to waste.
Our guardians are part of a supportive network of creatives, professionals, key workers and changemakers, who live in unique, often surprising spaces. They enjoy affordable accommodation with the freedom to live more flexibly, all while making a meaningful difference by helping to protect and preserve valuable urban properties.
For our property owners, we offer a socially responsible alternative to traditional security solutions. Our guardianship model ensures their property is legally occupied, cared for and protected, reducing the risk of squatting, vandalism,and deterioration, without the high costs of security guards or empty property rates.
We believe in doing things differently. We care about people and places and we’re committed to making our cities more inclusive, more sustainable and more imaginative.
