Summary
From Scandinavian modernism to converted mews cottage, our homes can be as much a style statement as they are a refuge from the outside world. The design and organisation of the house have long been the sources of experimentation and innovation for architects and homeowners alike. Lifestyle changes such as parenthood, homeworking or a dependant relative moving in, make challenging demands of our living spaces and it helps to look at the bigger picture when viewing a home. Even the most traditional properties often come with an in-built flexibility. Layouts with bedroom or office space on the ground floor are worth considering, along with the capability to divide the house into two separate units. A cosmopolitan couple can become an extended family almost overnight, while metrosexual man may fall for a partner with a ready-made family. As life tends to happen when you're making other plans, this trio of homes could work round a range of changing circumstances.
