What sort of house shall I die in?

Question comes from this review of Margaret Drabble’s new novel.

Also this

"Fran is an unwitting Virgil who leads us through the circles of the hell of aging; but it is a hell where pragmatic thoughtfulness reigns and functional architecture is sustenance."

Not sure I can answer in formal or tectonic terms, but I can say at least

"a house full of memories, yet also full of life; family and friends."

I don't wish for a hushed and somber passing.

@David, That ZHA design for Campbell is bad...and this is an image of a man really living I think. Very powerful.

on a ground floor, preferably, I've always been worried about buildings with no service elevators.
