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.

    It’s a shame that major cities seem content with supplanting medium density housing with high density housing skipping it entirely.

    EDIT: So apparently the NSW government has actually released a new policy specifically to help foster the creation of terrace and mid-rise developments near major transport hubs which is amazing.

    Will be good to see development of new mid-rise developments particularly near stations which are surrounded by single family homes.
