The impact from Covid-19 will have far-reaching implications on home usage and design. European Tour Destination venues are already incorporating these changes into their resorts and working with existing property owners and new builds to provide adaptable physical environments for families to turn into homes.

The open-plan, larger houses that ruled the market for the past couple of decades are being modified as architects are now being asked to incorporate peaceful dens in addition to larger living rooms into their plans.

As the tools to work remotely improve, property owners are starting to look for homes where living spaces and working spaces are more clearly defined or adaptable. The pandemic has also seen increased demand for integration of real and virtual activities including remote work, remote health and remote education. Design requirements, thanks to video platforms, should not only be functional but also look good on camera and include natural lighting, fresh air, and technical infrastructure, all of which are available in abundance at European Tour Destination golf resorts.

Other considerations which designers and other professionals are keeping in mind for the future include:

● Health, safety and wellness as people expect to spend more time at home than ever before.

● The balancing act between meeting job requirements and maintaining the privacy of the family.

● The use of smart home technology with a focus on touchless systems to reduce the spread of microbes.

● Kitchens, which are rapidly becoming the most important space in the house, should be spacious enough to cook and relax in, as well as being efficient and equipped with state-of-the-art appliances.

● Greater preference for in-home care for aging family members over nursing homes and the need for home accessibility features.

European Tour Destination resorts know their quality housing surrounding championship golf courses is the cornerstone of the strong on-site golf communities. Meeting the latest housing requirements is something each resort already focuses on, enabling residents to enjoy the privacy of their home in a safe, healthy and relaxed environment.
