The Determining Your Values Questionnaire is a complimentary resource to our Values-led Briefing Guide. It is designed to help you think more deeply about what matters most to you in your life, and what a future home may need to provide, support and make room for.

It can be especially helpful for couples, families or households planning a home together. Each person may come to the process with different ideas and expectations. Working through the questions can help you see where your values align, where someone needs to compromise, and what feels most important to you, before the design process begins.

By getting clearer about your values early on in the process, you can reduce some of the stress and decision fatigue that often comes with planning and designing a home.

The Determining Your Values Questionnaire will step you through:Identifying your values & ideal lifestyle,

• Identifying your personal values,

• Understanding what your future home needs to support your ideal lifestyle,

• Recognising where your values align with your partner or family,

• Noticing where compromise may be needed,

• Thinking about enoughness, lifestyle and daily rhythms,

• Identifying the gaps between your current ‘actual’ values and the values you wish to cultivate

• Preparing for clearer conversations before you begin the home planning and design process to avoid stress further down the track.

A small heads-up: this questionnaire goes a bit deeper and may contain more “oh, good question” moments than expected.
