Popular Residential Design Trends

Modern residential design trends are redefining the way cities grow and develop. Here are some key trends that are shaping urbanisation:

Mixed-Use Developments: Mixed-use developments combine residential, commercial, and recreational spaces within a single area. This trend promotes walkability, reduces the need for commuting, and fosters a sense of community. Mixed-use developments are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas, contributing to vibrant city centres. By integrating various functions in one place, these developments reduce urban sprawl and create a dynamic urban environment where people can live, work, and play without the need for extensive travel.
