While open-plan living benefits larger residential groups through regular and simpler connections, when a little more privacy or quiet is required, it can be difficult to stop the action in one area affecting the atmosphere in another.

Commercial spaces, meanwhile, have managed to evolve the open plan far better to fit their own requirements, providing private sanctuaries alongside larger, more social areas, using little more than the design and arrangement of products therein. By taking examples from offices, hospitality and public spaces, and applying them to the home, we can create a mixed-use living space to fit everyone’s needs at once.
