EVOLUTION OF
RESIDENTIAL SPACES
Our perception of our homes and
interiors has evolved through the
various stages of lockdown. Many
people are now looking at transforming
the home into a place that fosters the
experience of living well. Corporate
office designers have always known
that our work environments impact our
productivity and well-being. And with
the move to remote working over the
last few years, it’s become apparent that
homeowners have awakened to the
same truth.
The sudden transition away from open-
plan living illustrates this perfectly.
Nowadays, people are prioritising places
for focused work, and are looking for
ways to manage the movement of
others in their spaces. They are desiring
nooks in which to cocoon and revitalise
in solitude before feeling recharged
enough to re-join the bedlam of typical
family life.

EVOLUTION OF THE
VIRTUAL SPACE
We are seeing a radical integration of
our physical and virtual spaces. These
two worlds are set to merge and many
people are looking to interior designers
to make sense of this integration and
the potential chaos that might manifest
at their intersection. Designers need
to look at balancing technology and
comfort within the personal narrative of
their client’s space.
