Adaptability: The New Spacious

Adaptability is key to our happiness at home - and matters more than the size of our smallest bedroom, (that's according to Resi's own Happy Homes research). So just how do you make sure your home is adaptable and your space flexible? What rooms or areas should you concentrate on? What should you plan for? And how do you make sure your home grows and ages with you? Nichi talks to Julia Park, architect at Levitt Bernstein and Resi's own Mark Hood.
