Space has never been more front of mind for homeowners than when it comes to designing their dream home, an Adelaide architect says.

Fuelled by pandemic lockdowns, Glasshouse Projects architect and director Don Iannicelli said clients were increasingly looking for more space to retreat to, both indoors and out.

“Space has really come back. Space, in the past couple of years, has become quite prominent, especially after being cooped up, and external space has become a bit of a premium,” he said.

“Previously people wanted low-maintenance living and hardly any backyard, but they are now appreciating those external spaces and finding they are quite valuable for the health of their family.”

Mr Iannicelli, who designed and built his family’s home that was completed last year, has seen the direct benefit of building on a large block and including a swimming pool.

His home, called Mitcham Abode, was voted the number one property in the Top 50 SA Homes list in 2022 by The Advertiser and Sunday Mail’s Real Estate and At Home teams.
