Abstract
Non-traditional families have a unique set of needs that are rarely addressed by their
living environment. If we are going to start designing for these families we first need to
understand who these families are, and what needs they have. Using a literature-based
research approach this paper will begin to look at the needs and challenges of four
different family types, including: single parents, part time parents, the elderly and grand families.
