These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Multi-location living is becoming more widespread as working styles become more flexible and values diversify, but research that systematically captures its psychological and physiological effects has not yet been sufficiently developed. The research aims to generate insights that will contribute to next-generation residential environments and urban design.
