Parents are from India, so large gathering spaces and ways to cool the house are prioritized in design thinking
Key Findings from the Interview
My friend wants a house that is organized and modern, but not so much so that one becomes stressed out about ruining the aesthetic
She would like a better cooling system for her house in regards to different floors- the AC is in the basement, so it is always freezing when the upstairs is lukewarm. When the basement is warm, the upstairs is sweltering.
She also prioritizes large spaces to relax with large groups of people, but also spaces to have alone time and work.
She would like a lot of natural light as opposed to lightbulbs because it looks better and is less annoying (with this light you do not need to flip any switches or spend money).
