An architect in San Antonio recently noted how homeowners are now bringing up resilience early in the process, as climate impacts have become impossible to overlook.

Flexible rooms\u2014rather than single-purpose spaces\u2014are making homes more adaptable for changing routines, aging in place, or welcoming back adult children.
