In the times we live in, work has walked into our homes and this phenomenon is going to stay for the near future. By home, reference is to primarily towards our spaces of reflection, relaxation, facilitation of the inner life.
This way of life, where the boundaries between workspace and living space are blur has had its own effects on the way we live our contemporary lives. In terms of architecture and inhabiting spaces, within the last two decade the online shopping modality has entirely changed the way people shop, consume and interact within their built urban or rural environments.
This new upgrade where entire businesses have gone online and are working on screens and chat rooms is demanding an inquiry into how do we as architects work towards building environments especially residential spaces where we enable and create spaces to ground people in their spatial experiences and be able to navigate through life in a humane manner.
This remote working experience within a home environment has entirely changed the spirit of living, as it penetrates into the walls, spaces,
each and every material and humans. And when we have each member in the house working remotely, children Studying online, practicing hobbies like dance in the living room etc. It has pushed people to live in interior environments or indoor spaces with a screen setup and a Wi-Fi connection.
The spaces which enabled a different experience and allowed people to interact within a built environment, operating now primarily in a virtual dimension, there is an urgent need to humanize our homes and ensure sane ways of inhabiting.
This phenomenon is impacting the mental health, physical understanding of relationships and experiencing a place set within a context.
We see the reverse migration of people into spaces out of urban areas but have people really left those spaces in their minds and are rooted and grounded within a specific context?
Only through the creation of a hybrid spatial modality can we ensure a better way of living in this new normal.
The inclusion of separate workspaces which are in the proximity of a walk within the house/ residence or community can facilitate a more holistic way of transcending this change.
It is critical for the mass population to adapt to this and incorporate this as a non-negotiable for a more humane future and growing from the inside out rather than the outside in.
This is where tweaking through architectural/ urban interventions and educating the clients via working models can we project by project weave a better culture and a safe space for people to navigate through this critical phase of the transformation of our civilization.
The creation of space has always had this subtle aspect of healing people and serving the true purpose of architecture - bringing the person back into the self and grounding one to experience life in a holistic manner.

I think you need to turn down the pseudo self-help guru woo jive by about 420%.

A good question to ask when writing is, "can I make my case without bold font and italics in every other paragraph?"
I get the point that separating work and not-work life can be challenging when you're always under the same roof. You completely lose me with "developing from the inside out" and "bringing the person back into the self."
Buy, build or rent an office space outside your abode. And lay off the weed.

this excludes all the people not having your standard white collar office job, what about them and their rights and possible need for a hollistic safe space? I think you wrote all this without the need for weed, good for you but/and whatever floats your boat, just try to be a tad more inclusive for all, namaste...

I don't think the OP needed weed. I think they used a lot of it though.
