Yea I was disappointed when I saw it was talking about houses. I've seen a lot of cookie-cutter houses have very open plans just to give the illusion of having more space. I actually like them (if they're setup like a tri-level). Open plan offices are garbage. You have totally different goals/requirements for each.
- cardiffspaceman 7y agoAs stated in other comments, the part of an open-plan house that has rooms has the rooms where privacy and quiet are valuable. The part that is not divided is the social space. When engineers say they like open offices, I assume they prefer to be able to socialize (consult) with their nearby peers more than they prefer to have quiet. Those who prefer private offices prefer quiet and no interruptions. So all of this is consistent between homes and offices.
