MORE DEFINED SPACES WITHIN THE HOME ARE DEFINITELY PART OF “THE NEW NORMAL.”
HUNTINGTON HOMES — 661 Bridge Lake Drive — Bridgwater Trails
Noise complaints aside, though, we shouldn’t go so far as to declare the open concept dead. Most homeowners aren’t going to be putting up kitchen walls quite yet. But more defined spaces within the home are definitely part of “the new normal.” “I think a lot of people that we’re working with now are building a home because COVID-19 has made them realize that if they are trapped at home, and they’re working at
home, they need separate spaces to be able to do that in,” explains Rob Swan, who founded Huntington Homes with his brother Sheldon in 1987. The duo introduced the open- concept great room to Winnipeggers back in 1993, when they built a show home that saw the traditional living room replaced by a room which highlighted the views at the back of the house.
