COVID-19’s impact on design & work spaces: An interview with Milton’s own Rob Elfer of Studio Troika

With host Melissa Fassel Dunn.

I was lucky enough to spend time chatting with Robert Elfer about the effects of COVID-19 on design, work, and home spaces. Rob is a partner at Studio Troika, an architecture firm in Boston. He’s also a Canadian-born hockey enthusiast, parent to a graduating Milton Senior, a Milton resident and an active member of Milton Neighbors. You might recognize Rob from his work on the new teen center at the First Congregational Church.

Rob and I chat about:

• The new working from home mentality
• The death of the open-concept office
• New options for office spaces
• Possible changes in the real estate market
• HVAC and mitigating its connection to COVID-19
• Flexible work and home spaces
• UVC lights
• Anti-microbial materials
