Swedish term or phrase: liv
Visst går det att flytta ut fönster till det nya fasadlivet, men fortfarande kvarstår problemet med taksprång och sockelliv.
What does liv mean here after fasad and sockel?

perimeter


Explanation:
I found (with some difficulty) this definition -- Sockelliv = Linjetåg med sockelhörn som brytpunkter; Fasadliv = Linjetåg med hushörn som brytpunkter.

The references seems to be talking about the same thing. See what more you can find 'facade perimeter', 'exterior wall perimeter', and similar.

surface


Explanation:
I am not sure, and maybe I am wasting your time, but visiting a web-site (see the link) you can see a vase. And we read:
"Liv med figurscen i form av kurtiserande par".

It means that the mentioned picture is on the surface of the vase.
So, maybe, liv means "surface" in this case too?
