Open-plan living used to be the preferred layout for homes, now there is a new alternative that seduces more and more our clients: the broken-plan living. So what it is? A broken-plan living is a transitional movement between the modern open plan layout and traditional separated home layouts. It distinguishes the living spaces by using varying textures, steps, different sized spaces, different ceiling heights or even different floor and ceiling finishes. Our building designers breakdown what you need to know about the broken-living space and explain its clever use of space. Allow the light to flow throughout the spaces. Access to the natural light is primordial when designing these spaces therefore it is important to keep the same flow of light. The use of internal windows is a good way to solve the noise dilemma and still allows light to pass through unlike standard partition walls. Use levels to divide spaces. This approach works pretty well for kitchen and living area
