Home is not only confined within a structural building but "extends its walls to the neighbourhood... suburb, town or city" (Mallett, S. 2004, p.62-89). Shelley also states that home is also a place where "relationships are lived"
Concept 2:
The definition of home does not have to be related to a spatial dwelling. Home can relate to a persons journey and its significances. This idea of home can be related to ideas of family, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality and age. (Mallett, S. 2004, p.62-89)
Concept 3:
Home is a living space of freedom which reflects the persona of the residential owner. The personalisation of the home promotes security and identity. (Porteous, J. D. 1976, p.383-390)
