Private and Public Space Balance

As kids are heading back to school, either in person, virtually, or some combination, many of us are considering how our homes will function for all of our different needs. The balance of public and private space is an important factor when looking at this functionality. When working from home, it’s important to find some private space for calls or classes, as well as having a place for respite. Public spaces are where we gather to spend time with one another and to share resources.

Some results from our recent #TPDStayAtHomeSurvey show that:

• Overall, kitchens have been the hardest working “public spaces” in the house with 43% feeling that their kitchens are working well. “Our kitchen is on overdrive!”
• 65% of respondents feel that they have a good balance of public and private spaces in their homes.
• 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.

“People need to rotate their personal workspace for a change in scenery.”

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.
