WIA Lean-in: Being At Home in Your Home. With Anna Schabel

During the pandemic and possibly well into the future, we will be spending much more time in our homes. Lockdown, isolation, working from home (or WFH) and home-schooling: some of us have not ever spent this much time in our homes! Positive or negative, what can we take-away from this experience? 

Led by Women in Architecture Chair, Anna Schabel, we take a look at our homes and how the home-stay affects us. We will be discussing:

  • How do you find the combination of work and household (kids, chores, friends, learning, cooking, gardening etc) in one place?

  • How do you use your space differently?

  • How did your communities change/ who 'enters' your home (virtually)?

  • What are you learning about home design?

  • What's your favourite detail/ object in your home? 

We’d love it if you could email us (Karen@sleepinggiant-consulting.com) a photo of your favourite detail in the home, for collation before the meeting.
