People now see spaces like hobby rooms or ‘man-caves’ as integral to their home life, and buy or build houses with this in mind.

For a more sustainable future, we need to embrace living in smaller spaces. This means not letting our houses be our primary space for every activity in our lives

Smaller, well insulated, medium density housing. Alas nothing like the current dystopian sprawl of Australian cities.

    If by medium density is a house on a 300sqm block with gutters that touch next door with a 3x3m patch of grass in the back yard, which seems to be the norm for new housing estates it will only cause more issues in infrastructure.

    Of course the house will become the logical spot for all things as there is no yard or garage. Cost of living keeps people at home.

    This makes little sense in many ways other than. Greed of councils and developers.
