The desired features of yesteryear, such as walk-in wardrobes, will remain popular, but will be elevated to become more lavish and efficient.

Hollywood style dressing rooms, inbuilt studies and integrated greenery are tipped to be some of must-have features of 2016.

With more scrutiny around apartment sizes, architecture firm Hayball’s Bianca Hung says spaces will have to be made to work smarter.
