(Luk 2:7) And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And yet, open space homes allow for multipurpose space than can shift functions over time. Most of today’s open space homes are a combination of public & private space.
I would never want to go a series of boxes but the beauty of life is that people can choose.
Raining cats and dogs...was just that
Dogs and cats falling from the high open ceiling beams when it rained and got slippery.
I have seen a few articles recently decrying the open floor plan. Some high end homes now have 2 kitchens; a trophy kitchen in the open area with the high end appliances and cabinets with windows with everything just oh so perfect, and a “mess” kitchen hidden somewhere else where the real work gets done.
That's a perfectly legitimate opinion. Anyone who says this is welcome to do so.
"You should hate open floor plans"
This is a stupid thing to say, and a waste of ink, oops, a waste of electrons.
Open concept is the lazy way to design. It’s loud, dirty (open shelves in the kitchen is an idea from hell).
I see more and more people asking for defined spaces.
So what does Jesus’ birth have to do with open concept houses?
I was once told by a contractor that the reason that contractors love open floor plans is that those types of home are cheaper to build.
And everyone I know who has bought one regrets it.
No thanks. I love open concept. I paid a lot for my home and I want to feel like I'm living in all of it. People who complain about their messy kitchen just have too much crap. Get rid of all your crap, keep what you use and love, and you won't have a messy kitchen.
Who wrote this crap? Jesus was born in a manger...
Nope. Just revisionist nonsense. Mary, Mother of Jesus, informed the Gospels, as she outlived her husband, Joseph, and Luke became somewhat of a confidante. She would not have misled the Gospel writers.
So this idiot knows more than the Apostles. Was she there? If not, keep your opinion to yourself; it makes you sound stupid.
After having owned an “open concept” house with great room, kitchen and dining alcove all open to one another, I came to dislike it. The noise, the lack of defined spaces that can be closed off, for privacy or just to hide a mess if need be, is a problem. I actually thing a well laid-out 50’s or 60’s ranch with a separate paneled den on the back of the house beside the kitchen, a formal dining room and a formal living room works far better. If you don’t want to be hidden away in the kitchen, open it to the informal space, the paneled den on the back of the house. It’s really far more functional in the real world, and no echoes from that huge barn-like space in an open concept house. I think it’s popular because people think it makes the house look larger and more grand, it makes for pretty Instagram pictures. But it seldom stays that way, there’s absolutely nowhere other than bedrooms or maybe a bonus room over the garage, to get away from a mess, whether it’s made by small kids, a work project or what have you.
What’s the point of this?
Live where you want to live, you have a choice.
Open design is generally group think socialist and separate room design promotes individualism and privacy.
