What is Open-Plan?
An open-plan space has no or few dividing walls between areas. Generally, this refers to the main living areas of the home — the kitchen, living room and dining room — which creates an open, flowing layout with fewer traditional individual rooms in favor of a communal living space. (Bedrooms and bathrooms can, of course, be open-plan as well, but for the purposes of this story, open-plan refers to the main living areas of a home.)
German professional Bernhard Kurz of IFUB says that in Germany, “there’s a strong tendency toward open-plan living. It’s been a request in almost all of our renovation projects — in some cases to a greater and in others to a lesser extent. But it generally refers to living rooms, dining rooms and the kitchen — home offices and bedrooms are still preferred as separate, smaller rooms.”
