People Want Flexibility In Their Homes

Our homes have been working hard for us during the pandemic, and we’ve learned that “flexibility” is extremely important to families and to those living alone at home:

• 45% of those who completed our survey want rooms that can be used for more than one purpose.
• 58% of people are using spaces in ways that they were not originally intended (e.g., dining room as office)
• While 27% of those surveyed say that each person in their house has a private space to work, 57% say that working and schooling from home involves “taking over” common living spaces or rotating private workspaces.

One respondent shared, “We live in an apartment, so there is not much space to work and play. We didn’t have a work table, so our dining table became my work table and my husband works in our bedroom where he uses the bed as a table. My daughter plays in the living room and on the balcony – she doesn’t want to play in another bedroom.”

Notebook

For most architects I know, a sketchbook is a constant companion: it’s where we keep project meeting notes, write down ideas and inspiration, and sketch solutions to design problems. This Notebook is similar: you’ll find thoughts on residential architecture, insight and advice for working with an architect, as well as some glimpses of what’s currently on the drawing board here at Taylor Plosser Davis, AIA.
