Given that we spend an estimated 90% of our time indoors, and post pandemic much of this time is now in our homes, the key challenge designers face today is how to not only deliver built environments that are inclusive, multi-functional, adaptive and sustainable but that can also enhance the well being of those who occupy them.
“Every time you pass a pile of clutter it puts pressure on the brain, causing small but regular doses of stress.”
Clutter is the sock that belongs in an upstairs drawer but has been on the kitchen radiator for two weeks because you’re waiting to see if the second sock turns up.
