STAYING INDOORS SAFE IN THIS PANDEMIC MADE US CONNECT WITH OUR HOMES MORE THAN EVER . HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR PROCESS TO DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT TRANSFORMS THE
LIVING OF THE RESIDENT ?
FAISAL & SHAMILA : It is true that the pandemic has made us rethink of our priorities & expected experience from our homes . Clients are aspiring to have far more comfort & functionality from their living spaces , and have also made conscious choices to move onto residences with more outdoor & green spaces . As a design approach , we have always championed green spaces in all our projects across typologies - especially residences . We also usually provide private work spaces in the homes we design . These have been fundamentally the two requests that we get from Clients these days . Having areas where one can seclude oneself is important as everyone needs time to recuperate from the anxiety & stress of being indoors for extended periods of time . Good landscaping and even having just a well gardened balcony can bring a lot of positivity during these times . Apart from that , having well designed work spaces with connectivity & privacy helps in keeping ones work going .
