This lunchtime talk will explore how we can re-design our homes to be better equipped for working from home, offering us more productivity as well as joy.

The past year has accelerated the trend toward home working at a pace we would never have expected. Now, homeowners are considering how they can adapt their spaces to work better as both a home office and a space for relaxing and entertaining as a family. This lunchtime talk will explore how we can re-design our homes to be better equipped for working from home, offering us more productivity as well as joy.
