Architects LondonOne thing we enjoy about our industry is how different generations have specific needs for spaces. It is great to learn about them and the specifics for how people use space and occupy it.

Millennials are one of the most interesting age groups to work with. We are aware that this generation often works against the current. They aim to experience everything in a different manner. Moreover, they are very determined. Surveys have told us they may not have children and some have no interest in marriage either. Within the hectic lives they lead, there is no time for domestic chores. Several of them even share houses with friends.

A generation that will become their own bosses

There exists a boom in the autonomous spirit and in the freelancer trend of millennials too. This generation is the one that is mostly likely to turn into their own bosses. They inspire the use of one space for multiple activities. As a result, owning a home that is capable of changing into a workplace can be essential.

How does this affect designs?

Because of the above, it is common to find minimalist, multifunctional, modern, and small apartments. The habits and behaviour of millennials point towards highly flexible minimal spaces. Architects and home developers need to address this trend. Furthermore, we have to adapt them to architecture using the human-millennial viewpoint. Here, one setting can morph into another. It strategically merges flexibility, innovation, and a future vision.

At Coffey Architects, we make it a point to understand how our clients use and occupy their space. So that this happens, we talk with them before fully starting the project and throughout it.
