Architecture affects real estate. With experience, I have realised that clients are now more aware of what kind of space they want to live in due to COVID 19 which has made a lot of people work from home. In the real estate industry, renting houses can be tedious because houses were not designed to suit the persons that would live in them.
How can this be turned around to suit the user?

Thanks, Dafe for this insightful question.
What can be done when spaces are not purpose-built to suit the users' persona and psychographics: renovation and remodelling. If the property is bought, a full remodelling can be done. If rented, a renovation can be done. For example, adding a workstation at the corner of a room for remote work, or a reading corner for the children at the children's bedroom or a changing vanity top in one of the toilets.
The beautiful thing about the perspective brought about by the pandemic is that it has informed design professionals for planning better spaces especially residential developments.
