Multipurpose – the new mantra in households

The concepts have uncorked creativity where the scaled down size does not compromise on utility. For instance, compact apartments dispense with interior walls between rooms that are co-functional, like the kitchen and the dining room². Sharing spaces is not minimalist but intelligent, and builders have embraced and re-invented the concept of using spaces intelligently which also lights up spaces naturally. Laundry rooms that share space with bathrooms cuts down on extensive plumbing and improves aesthetics. Hallways in homes are the new libraries, while beds in bedrooms disappear into walls³, increasing space, offering multipurpose options.

Geometrical façades for better space optimisation

Breaking ranks from large homes that devour spaces, the new age homes are precisely the answer to the woes of home hunters. Urban planners in India have for long been studying the issues that plague other Asian cities where housing is alarmingly cramped due to poor planning. Cities have started going vertical, freeing up cramped spaces, relying on apartments shaped more geometrically to pack in more blocks while creating greater green space surrounding the structures.
