In addition to fostering a sense of community , front yard living speaks to the overarching trend of indoor and outdoor connectivity . “ No matter where it is - be it the back , side or front of a home - more connection between inside and outside living is a growing trend ,” explained Taylor Morrison ’ s Vice President of Product Design Brian Juedes . “ And the addition of fresh air and natural lighting also boasts important health benefits .”
2 . A new office offering : With remote and flexible work here to stay , Taylor Morrison is incorporating a new iteration of office spaces into its architectural plans . Known as ‘ Tech Spaces ,’ these smaller alcoves conserve square footage and offer a sense of comfort and privacy when working from home . “ As long as there are companies allowing employees the flexibility to work from home , we need to accommodate that in our home designs . No one wants to be working from a kitchen island anymore ,” shared Juedes . Rather than sharing one full-sized office , homebuyers can opt for two smaller tech spaces - which is especially beneficial for households with multiple individuals working from home .
1 . Meet the neighbors : If the pandemic proved anything , it ’ s that people crave frequent social interaction . So much so that there ’ s one popular design element making a big comeback - centered all around bringing communities closer together . “ We are seeing more and more homeowners setting up inviting outdoor seating areas right in their front yards ,” shared National Director of Design and Model Experience Lee Crowder . “ By adding a few lounge chairs , a fire pit and some cafe lighting , all of a sudden you have an incredible space where you can enjoy being outside with your loved ones . As an added bonus , you might even befriend your neighbors .”

Redend Point is a good paint choice for a whole room without making the walls too dark or overwhelming , but can also add a pop of color to cabinetry or a kitchen island ,” Crowder said . In addition to Redend Point , Taylor Morrison has included Foxhall Green ( SW 9184 ), Eider White ( SW
