Summary/Abstract: The present context, impacted by the pandemic, has emphasized during the last year a series of problems regarding the spaces where people engage in their daily activities. Envisaged at first as short-term changes in the daily routine, isolation, quarantine, social distancing and work from home have become common aspects of the present reality, changing the perception individuals had about the spaces they live in. One of the spaces most impacted by change during the last year is the home, in particular the urban home that has changed into a hybrid space, a surrogate for the activities that once took place outside of the house: work, education, leisure.
