What inspired the design of this adaptable space in the Hampton floorplan?
At Robuck Homes, our design philosophy is rooted in understanding and anticipating the evolving needs of modern homeowners. The diverse space in the Hampton floorplan, particularly the tech nook, is a prime example of how we adapt our designs to enhance functionality and meet a range of different lifestyle needs.
Initially, the tech nook was envisioned as a practical area for managing home technology and charging devices. However, as we observed the changing dynamics of work and home life, it became clear that this space could serve a broader range of purposes. We recognized the growing need for flexible spaces that can adapt to various functions throughout the day.
In response, we reimagined the tech nook as a versatile and multi-functional area. Situated conveniently off the kitchen, this space can effortlessly transform to meet diverse needs. Whether used as a dedicated workstation, a cozy homework nook, a tech hub for virtual meetings, or even a creative craft area, the tech nook offers flexibility and utility to suit various lifestyle demands. We love talking to our customers about the ways they envision using the space. We have had a few new homeowners tell us that they are using it as an art studio and YouTube Content creation room.
This evolution reflects our commitment to creating homes that are not only stylish and contemporary but also adaptable to the ever-changing needs of today’s homeowners. By incorporating these thoughtful enhancements, the Hampton floorplan continues to offer a modern living experience that aligns with both current trends and future demands. The Hampton is available in Kennebec Crossing (Angier) and Baylee Ridge (Selma).
