What is a dream home? The concept has undergone a significant evolution across the ages—from the Paleolithic era when it was simply a shelter from the elements to a place that reflects how far one has come in life. But in a world waking up to a new reality created by the Covid-19 pandemic, it appears to centre around the idea that dominated during the industrial evolution.

“Your home is your sanctuary” is a notion that will influence the post-pandemic landscape, according to Victoria Garrett, head of residential for Asia Pacific at real estate consultancy firm, Knight Frank. “Covid-19 has completely changed the way most of us view our homes—they now need to encompass many diverse atmospheres under one roof, becoming not only our places of rest but also our office, gym and cinema,” agrees Victoria Edwards, design director at the Singapore office of international interior architectural practice Wilson Associates.

Being cloistered from the outside world has also led to introspection. “The crisis created a moment for people to focus inwards on those nearest and dearest, and to simplify their lives,” says Edwards.
