Two years into the pandemic and Filipinos have learned to embrace the changes that Covid-19 has brought upon society. It had everyone rearrange priorities, shifted economical balance, and ultimately altered the trajectory of most lives. 

In line with these changes, the criteria for a “modern home” has vastly shifted in many factors. After all the panic, need for isolation, and rampant spread of the virus in the past, there has been a shift in interest to moving out of the city to more less urbanized areas.

Nowadays, families tend to yearn towards New Urbanism in decongested areas of the country as it provides them the perfect balance between peace of mind and keeping up with day to day life. A perfect example is Aboitizland’s Amoa in Cebu. Here is a list of 4 factors why the 60 hectare residential community is an ideal modern home.

As effective and efficient these communities within buildings were, the advent of the pandemic still posed a great risk for people living in these buildings as the hygiene and health protocols required individuals to keep a distance from each other. However, this was almost inevitable to attain due to the interaction in hallways, elevators, and common areas in these buildings. Since then, people started looking for homes with more open spaces and features such as a terrace, allocation for a workspace, or a garden which helps them breathe.
