The jokes usually start to flow in after a crisis begins. Right now, Instagram is full of gallows humor about a global pandemic. While some of the jokes are hilarious, many of them are not. But, a common punch line that seems to bind them all is centered on the premise that: Self-quarantine will play out like a sitcom or a rom-com. It will test how strong your relationship to whomever you live with is, now that you’re going to be trapped in a small space together. However, this general espousal got my mind wandering in an entirely new direction: How liveable are the spaces we occupy? Will a post-pandemic world spur a new wave of thought with regard to spatial arrangements? We enlisted the help of a renowned architect and interior designer Rooshad Shroff to give us the skinny on why homes need to be practical now.
