Shift in Design Trends
The adoption of remote work has accelerated rapidly in recent years, particularly due to the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown restrictions. This trend has proven beneficial for both employees and companies, leading to its expected continuation. Real estate developers are adapting to this change by modifying the layouts of their projects to meet the demands of customers.
Redesigning Apartments for Work-From-Home
Developers are revamping the interior layouts of under-construction apartments to cater to the new requirements arising from the work-from-home trend. Office-like designs are being incorporated to satisfy customer requests.
Expert Opinions
Akash Khurana, Chief Executive of Krisumi Corporation: "We have analyzed the trends and needs of the current situation. We have converted a 3 BHK flat into two-plus work, meaning there will be 2 bedrooms and one workroom. We have provided the basic amenities required to run a mini-office."
Rohit Gera, Managing Director of Gera Developments: "We are developing premium commercial and residential projects in Goa, Bengaluru, and Pune considering the work-from-home trend in mind. Remote work has become a common practice that requires a space in the house that can be used as an office. We are planning to make a small workroom by altering the layout of some rooms and hall."
Anubhav Jain, CEO of Silverglades Group: "Our upcoming project in Gurgaon will have spacious business centers that will serve as small offices for residents."
Utilizing Existing Spaces
Some large real estate players are planning to include large business centers in their upcoming projects to meet the demand for separate workspace requirements. Additionally, some developers are converting leisure activity spaces like clubhouses into working centers.
