Private space, shared setting

Twelve Studio Ribbon

Use twelve studio lenses to prepare practical questions about privacy, light, access, patios and shared rooms.

Twelve sunward lenses

Private space, shared setting.

The ribbon moves from room form to personal rhythm, then ends at the visit boundary. It does not identify twelve real rooms or residents.

01

Private studio

Personal space inside a household with nearby common rooms.

02

Own ensuite

An orientation fact whose fittings and suitability need direct inspection.

03

Ground-level living

A useful starting point, not a complete route or threshold assessment.

04

Sunward light

Most studios are publicly described as north facing; actual light varies.

05

Screened patio

A threshold for air, rest and planting, shown only through fictional imagery.

06

Raised gardens

An optional shared interest, never a participation requirement.

07

Mobility questions

Dimensions, turning space and surfaces belong in a personal inspection.

08

Familiar things

Furniture, photographs, books and routines can help a room feel settled.

09

Quiet by choice

Company and private time can coexist without constant participation.

10

Shared rooms nearby

Dining and living areas create optional moments of ordinary connection.

11

Housekeeper role

A household role that is distinct from nursing or personal care.

12

See, ask, decide

Use the ribbon to prepare; rely on current authorised information to decide.

Look beyond a label

“Ground floor” and “friendly” are beginnings, not conclusions.

A person may need to inspect approach gradients, doors, turning spaces, bathroom fittings, surface transitions, storage and the journey to shared rooms. The app offers questions, not measurements or certification.

Where a professional assessment is appropriate, an illustration and general public description cannot replace it.

What the app keeps out

No availability or applicant profile.

The ribbon contains no vacancy status, room number, resident identity, price, eligibility score, health questionnaire or application form.

A strong visit question

“Which daily route through the house matters most to me, and can I observe that exact route during an arranged visit?”

From screen to real conversation

Use the app to prepare, then confirm what is current.

Sunward Courtyard is an orientation companion. It does not show vacancies, costs, applications, eligibility decisions, tenancy terms, live schedules, care services or individual accessibility outcomes. For a housing decision, use an arranged visit and information supplied by authorised representatives.
