4 bedrooms … 4 loos? How COVID is altering dwelling design

“The Barnaby” may be an odd identify for a house of the longer term, however that is what this four-bedroom demonstration home claims to be. 

Situated in a small city in South Carolina, it is the dimensions of a median new home in Australia and appears fairly regular from the skin.

Inside, the variations are apparent: a front-door “vestibule” for no-contact dwelling supply, two “pocket” dwelling places of work (neither of which is a bed room), a lecture room, a quarantine room, a “secret room” behind a bookcase (for being alone), and a whopping 4 loos.

In case you have not guessed it but, this can be a design formed by the pandemic.

The staff of architects, social researchers, and advertising and marketing consultants that dreamed it up say each element is knowledgeable by insights from a survey into the impression of COVID on houses and communities in America.

What about in Australia? Right here, the property trade is seeing demand for options like these of The Barnaby (although not 4 loos).

The devoted dwelling workplace is king, and there is usually higher appreciation for good design and high quality of development. 

COVID shone a lightweight on all of the pre-existing issues with our housing and requested us to do extra with our homes, together with working from dwelling (WFH).

So, what does a super post-COVID Australian dwelling appear like? And can any truly get constructed?

Enter the ‘flex area’

The Barnaby’s design selections have been knowledgeable by the America at Residence examine, which surveyed greater than 6,000 US adults in 2020.
