We create homes with a soul
Foreword
There is seemingly nothing revolutionary about the way Liven was created. Then again, revolutions often go unnoticed at first. In 2014, when Liven began its journey, it was just another real estate company. Just another developer, at least on paper. But even back then, Liven felt a different tune playing in its heart.
We understood that an apartment is not necessarily a home. The tune echoing deep within us encouraged us to, first and foremost, create homes. For most people, buying their own home is the most important purchase of their lives. It would make sense that those people get the service and attention a purchase of that magnitude deserves. However, it is not so. While each house is designed to be unique, creating a home according to the wishes of the client is mostly hard to achieve or becomes a source of headaches for a whole year. Liven wants to change that.
We create homes with a soul. We put our souls into our work to make sure everyone gets a home that suits theirs. Unique and personal.
This book will give you a short overview of what we believe, what we strive for, how we conduct ourselves, and what we do to achieve success.
Long-term cooperation relationships
One of our biggest assets is having cooperation partners who share our values. In many ways, they belong in Liven’s team as well. We respect them and they respect us. We always make sure that our cooperation is based on the win-win principle and life shows that the longer the collaboration is, the better the results.
Great results are the reason why clients choose us.
Why
The synergy of interior design and furniture
We find that great design is born when the interior design and furniture solutions are created together. We use this synergy to create homes that look cool, but are also practical and comfortable.
Come up with new ideas on how to further strengthen this combination.
We put our souls into creating homes with a soul.
Why are we in business?
We are happy when our clients are happy. Buying your own home is a big and emotional event and we make it a pleasant experience for the client. Every person purchasing a home for themselves needs to feel that we are creating a home that matches their wishes perfectly.
‘I really liked buying a home from Liven. They are so dedicated that you would never end up with just a random apart- ment. All possible options are considered and you are not given any constraints, only choices.’
What we stand for
Involving the client
The key to success is listening to and understanding the client. Among other things, you need to listen for the needs and wishes the person themselves might not know how to express.
We conduct market research, organise focus groups and interviews, and ask for feedback. In short, we do everything we can to find out more about people and their needs.
Come up with new ideas on how to involve clients and gain more knowledge.
In the end, all the homes we create are for our clients.
Design is in the details
We want every home to be better than the ones before. That can only be achieved if we pay attention even to the details that might seem insignificant at first.
Make your contribution to our shared ‘Guide to designing homes’. In this way, all our great ideas will be employed in the new homes of our clients.
Like the devil, great design is in the details. Let us hope they get along well.
Home
is not an apartment, but the feeling you get when you live there. Liven will move on to new projects, the builders will start working on new houses, but someone will actually live in the homes already created. Their feelings are the most important. We can only create homes with a soul if we prioritise the needs of the client.
Carefully considered plans
The plans of Liven’s homes are carefully thought out. Everyone’s contribution matters. Make sure to participate in refresher training to gain new ideas for better planning.
Good planning is characterised by:
- a carefully considered spatial programme;
- quality square metres – making sure the size of the rooms fits their purpose; and
- a million small important details.
The plan is the most important thing to a client.
We create homes with a soul
We create homes in collaboration with the client. Not only will they get a wonderful home, but also a warm and special memory of the entire process.
After all the work is done, we hope the homes have a soul – that they make the clients feel like home.
A home to support the client’s development and their pursuit of happiness. A home that is a canvas for capturing joyous moments: alone, with family, and with friends.
We create homes that we sometimes regret selling as we secretly wish we could live there ourselves.
With responsibility
– environment, risk management, due diligence
Over and above
– innovation, efficiency, results
With trust
– honesty, simplicity in dealings, cooperation

How we conduct ourselves
In brief
Team
Me
I am honest and brave
Honesty and courage are the basis of all personality traits (someone called Winston Churchill also thought so). I dare to voice my opinion and take responsibility for my actions. Yes, I sometimes make mistakes, but then I admit that to myself, as that is the only way I can learn from it.
If we abide by all that is said above, then…
The clients
will be comfortable and confident, as they were able to create their own homes. That is a very good start to truly feeling at home.
The homes
will be appreciated for years to come. The development projects we create enrich the city and the homes adorn the pages of magazines. They provide happy moments to residents and communities as well.
We
are proud of our work, feel satisfaction, and can celebrate it all with a proper party.

Team
We work together
The narrative of a lone genius is a myth. We can achieve more by working in a team than we could ever dream of when working alone. Good teamwork is built on trust. We can talk to each other plainly, we keep our promises, and we expect our partners to do the same. Our different opinions enrich the conversation and thus, we are all open to new points of view.
We are thorough
We do not speculate at Liven. We work with facts and test our assumptions. To avoid having to redo our hard work, we try to get everything right the first time.
We strive for perfection
We argue passionately and after making the decisions, we work as a team to get the best results.
Simplicity and focus
It is easy to deal with us because we are focused. Liven’s business is creating homes and making sure they are worthy of being called that. Everything else good in this world is the business of someone else.
Liven
Care
We care about our people, clients, coope- ration partners, and the environment. For one, this makes it easier to work, but more importantly – that is just right.
Our work provides results
We must work hard to achieve excellent results. If necessary, we push each other (that is, encourage each other) to get things moving.
Ambition
Liven aims high because this gives our work meaning. We always strive for perfec- tion and look for ways to exceed the expectations of our clients. For example, by offering them great service, a bright development idea, or a home that looks simply spectacular. We keep our eyes and minds open to choose the best of the world’s design trends and new technolo- gies.
We want to change the status quo. Home design must stem from the wishes of the person who will live there, not from the possibilities of the builder. Every person is special. Only by collaborating with them can we give them a home with a soul.
