there’s no doubt the fledgling work from home movement that evolved during COVID-19 has grown in epic proportions. So much so that as we adjust to living with COVID-19, many workers are now permanently ditching their office digs for the comfort of home.
According to The Melbourne Institute’s Taking the Pulse of the Nation Survey, almost 70 per cent of Australians who have been working from home because of COVID-19 would like to continue doing so. This can mean changing home designs to facilitate comfortable living spaces that also promote productive working environments. A 2021 report, ‘The spaces we inhabit in the post-pandemic reality’, compiled with 180 designers and architects in Madrid, revealed that when it came to designing homes of the future, three key elements stood out. Flexible interior living spaces, the importance of an indoor-outdoor connection, and homes that focus on sustainable living.
