<\/p>\n
Home owners and businesses\u00a0have pronounced a strong desire for open floor plans\u2014areas where fewer walls give\u00a0a greater sense of spaciousness\u2014over the past decade or more. But some British architects are suggesting that the trend may change soon as home owners\u00a0in the near\u00a0future require more walls.<\/p>\n
In a recent article in Dezeen, several architects and designers forecast the end of the open-plan era. They say mobile technology is increasing the desire for more privacy.\u00a0The desire for what is being called \u201cfragmented\u201d spaces comes from the increase in those who are working from home and a desire to have private screen time\u00a0with phones or laptops.\u00a0The trend may be more evident in business spaces, as backlash increases against open offices with a lack of privacy and, some say, focus.<\/p>\n
Architects forecast a layout that might include studies and television rooms instead of large lounges. Also, split-level floors and sliding partitions may be used more often to help divide open spaces without closing them off entirely.<\/p>\n
“Modern technology has consequences to our traditional living patterns and routines, and\u00a0we are adapting to what is on offer,” Mary Duggan with Duggan Morris Architects in London told Dezeen.\u00a0“Like it or not, there is greater independence between family\u00a0members and more out-of-sequence operations. They\u00a0need a suite of spaces to accommodate this, so our plans are starting to fragment. Broken-plan is a term we are using a lot at the moment.\u00a0It deliberately challenges open-plan living, encompassing\u00a0all family activities and allowing\u00a0them to function in tandem.”<\/p>\n
Still, she says there is demand for kitchen and dining spaces that have large countertops built to entertain guests.\u00a0“The idea of having big theater rooms where families can\u00a0cook and eat and talk are a constant part of the sequence,” she says.<\/p>\n
