The combination of two plans of life activity entailed a redistribution of the places where the most important functions of a person are carried out: social activity, consumption of various forms of cultural values, places of application of labour, organization of the space of residential formations. With the advent of virtual forms of business and cultural functions in housing, the “home” has strengthened its significance as the canter of a structured developed space. The territorial remoteness of the house from work, retail outlets and leisure canters is levelled by their virtual accessibility.
