HOME: TODAY’S FLEX SPACE DEFINED

  TODAY’S FLEX SPACE DEFINED – FIRST THE ORIGINS  

The term “flex space” was initially a description for industrial warehouse space that could be “flexed” into areas like office space, photography studio, home “loft” atmosphere, or however else you choose to configure it. Flex space took on a new meaning when the real estate world started applying the term to residential property. ‘Round the homestead, flex space also refers to a True Fashionista space that’s flexible in form and function. With often little flex space to spare, adaptability is the name of the game, and that has pretty much been the headspace for these pandemic times.
