LIVING SPACES
For the last three years, Metro Valley has been involved in understanding the needs and requirements of people from their homes. Considerable research has been conducted in three major cities across sections of people of various age groups and educational backdrops. The effort is to evolve a guideline to assist people in taking the right decisions while choosing a home – their most important and sought after status symbol in their lives. Our study has researched people's disenchantment and frustration with their current living conditions in countries across the globe. The effort is to create an easy to use matrix that can help people in deciding which aspects of their requirements are getting fulfilled through the products that they evaluate in the marketplace. The work is currently underway and is expected to be completed in another six months time. |
