1. What impact has the pandemic had on the future of home design?
We’ve had clients ask for several different changes to the program of their homes, but the most consistent one seems to be a multifunctional mudroom. What once used to be a small and diminutive pass through, is now becoming a major hub in the day to day functions of families. In response to the pandemic, we just completed a mudroom that included a shower, a sink, a washer and drying, an Amazon package drop off, and a bank of lockers for everyone including the nanny to store bags and shoes. The idea behind this mudroom to create a place immediately upon entering the side door to wash off and shed clothes before entering the main parts of the house. The good news is we got to incorporate more Ann Sacks tile into this part of the house!
