The way we work is changing. The Workhome Project advocates design and policy norms that make this change work – for communities, cities and the environment.
@antonyslumbers Big news but expected. BT downsized their property portfolio by 50% in 2004 when they adopted a home-working policy. What to do with the space? Make 'workhomes' for those who need more space for their home-based work - both blue-collar workers and creatives.

Shared an office today with a guy who worked from 8-2.45
I asked him what he does after. He said “3-6pm is my free time! I see friends, play sport”
I asked, what about evenings?
He said: “that’s my evening time! I relax”
Gotta hand it to the Danes when it comes to work norms
Our 2022 Davidson Prize entry explores the city itself as the locus for *co-living for all*, achieved by infusing existing cities, neighbourhoods and buildings with co-living principles.

@TalktoARYZE Home-based work is enshrined in the Japanese planning system - allowing houses with small other use, eg shop, office, studio etc, in 12 of 13 Land Use Zones. Even in Tokyo's most tightly regulated resi area, 49% or 50m2 (whichever is smaller) workspace is permitted in any home
Delighted to contribute to excellent panel on 'Home as Workplace' @iihsin conference 'Beyond Binaries' with @ShaliniWIEGO@MalavikaaN and @Bijalb_15 stressing importance of designing and planning for low-income WFH at urban and architectural scales in both global South and North
Panel 2 at IIHS' annual research conference, Urban ARC, ‘Home as a Place of Work’, attempts to unpack the implications of the deep intersections between housing and livelihoods. Join us today at 12:00 pm IST here: https://t.co/8AAq0hO6ej
@Rob_Fiehn Nice piece about these in Giles Walkley’s book on Artists’ Houses. I included them in my book ‘Beyond Live/work: the architecture of home-based work’. Studio houses for ‘gentlemen artists’ with space for a housekeeper on the lower floor. Yes, slot windows to get canvasses out.
From apartment blocks to one-off houses, the demands being placed on the spaces we live in are more complex than ever.
In response, the 2022 Davidson Prize is calling for design ideas that rethink our models of home.

So sad to hear about one of the most talented and loveliest figures in Architecture. Chris Wilkinson had a caring charisma that will be missed be all. Rest in peace dear Chris
