Business Insider | 'Zoom rooms' and hideaway offices show how remote work is changing the way we design new homes

So architects like her are building spaces "that allow for a physical segue between your workday and your personal life," she said.

Flexible work options have influenced multifamily design and will likely continue as the work-from-home trend continues. Meanwhile, some area multifamily projects designed to include flexible spaces already accommodate the trend.

…Jessica Hester, CEO and principal architect of Verdant Studio in Rogers, said the firm is designing multifamily developments planned for downtown Rogers that are expected to accommodate remote and hybrid workers. “We’re designing for at-home workspace in a way that we have never done pre-COVID,” Hester said. “Making sure people have access to comfortable, well-lit desk space has become a priority.”
