As building designs have evolved over millennia, they have adapted to fit our changing demands and, ultimately, our expanding lives. Home has evolved from being a territorial requirement to a lifestyle choice. Housing has evolved in a major way over time, from being a space for shelter, comfort, consistency, and permanence, to being an expression of our humanness over time. On the other hand, the market for real estate in metropolitan cities like Mumbai & Delhi is becoming more and more volatile. In other words, rents are going up while surfaces are going down.
