The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we navigate public spaces, including our favorite wellness destinations. Many of these destinations such as fitness centers, salons, and spas had to close temporarily at some point in 2020 due to safety precautions. As we move into 2021, businesses are taking steps to adapt their spaces to provide a safer and more comfortable environment for our new needs as they reopen.

To get a better idea of how the latest design trends have been influenced by the events of 2020, we caught up with Terry Krause, Principal, Architect, and Head of Retail for Mackenzie, an integrated design firm. Krause has over 30 years of professional experience working with national retailers and developers, along with experience in all phases of development for new and remodeled facilities.
