And for entertaining? How often are you really entertaining and why do you want people milling in your kitchen while you’re trying to cook?

So those people who are griping about wanting more space are probably already in huge places but just not using the space effectively. If you have a lot of crap, of course the home will feel crowded, especially if people are leaving that crap just lying around instead of putting it away. And of course if you have people in the house who have never learned to use inside voices or listen to music/movies with headphones....well, yes, you are going to think you need more space, when what you actually need are manners.

I hate the open plan concept in a house. Fine for apartments, but a 2500sqft house does not need to be open concept. And the reasons people give for wanting an open plan are so temporary. They want to keep an eye on their kids while they’re cooking, which is understandable, but that’s for young kids. I’m a few years, you’ll have kids that don’t need to be supervised constantly. And for entertaining? How often are you really entertaining and why do you want people milling in your kitchen while you’re trying to cook?

I'm kind of hoping this will be the death of open office plans. Those are hell.
I would take a cube farm any day. Conference rooms/gathering spaces if you need them, but privacy while working.

no matter the design, childed houses at this point in time are little hell holes.
and closing doors does not deter shitty, clingy, snotty little buggers. they can't help it, it's the stage of development, but after 8 hours of 'mommymommymommymommy' i'd be ready to drop kick the bastard out a window

Don't most offices have separators so you don't have to look at co-irkers while working?

I can only speak for myself. I work for a large (Fortune 50 sized) entity. My employer built a new "modern" facility that was deployed in 2019. It has sectioned seating, but the partitions do not extend past desk level, so that is why a cube farm would be desirable because there is no privacy. Everyone can see everyone else.
