Architecture In a Minute: Is the Open Plan living

Architecture In a Minute: Is the Open Plan living era officially over? 🛋️🚫

The "Giant Box" layout looks stunning in professional photos, but for real life—especially with more of us working from home—it’s a recipe for sensory overload.

The solution isn't to start building walls everywhere. It’s Broken Plan Living. 🏗️✨

By using smart design "filters" like: ✅ Level Changes (A simple step makes a huge psychological difference) ✅ Lighting Zones (Defining the mood without physical barriers) ✅ Physical Dividers (Think glass partitions or open shelving)

...you get to keep the light and the views, while finally blocking out the noise (and the mess!).

Which would you prefer: One big open space or a "broken" plan with more privacy?

Architecture In a Minute: Ceramic vs. Porcelain: D

Architecture In a Minute: Ceramic vs. Porcelain: Does it actually matter? 🤔

While they look similar on the surface, the difference lies in the clay. 🟧 Ceramic: Softer red clay, porous, and cost-effective. Perfect for low-traffic indoor walls or dry areas and DIY enthusiasts as its lightweight. ⬜ Porcelain: Denser, fired at higher temps, and virtually waterproof. The non-negotiable choice for bathrooms, patios, and high-traffic zones.

💡 Pro Tip: Check the back of the tile! If it’s orange-red, it’s likely ceramic. If the color is uniform, it’s porcelain.

Choose the right tool for the job to avoid cracked tiles and water damage down the road.

Architecture In A Minute:

Ever feel like you’re running a marathon just to make a cup of coffee? As architects, we see this all the time. It’s usually not a space problem—it’s a math problem. 📐In the world of design, we use the Kitchen Work Triangle to turn chaos into flow. Is your kitchen officially "inefficient" or a total breeze? Grab a tape measure, check your triangle, and let us know the distances in the comments! 👇

Ever walk into a house and immediately feel… trapped? 😩

It’s that dark, narrow hallway that ends in a solid wall.

As an architect, this is my non-negotiable rule to fix it. This simple "Line of Sight" trick is the difference between a home that says "stop" and one that says "welcome home."

Save this for your future home or renovation! 💡

Fresh off the renders! We're excited to share a first look at one of our latest residential concepts. This design focuses on the dynamic play between solid and void, blending warm vertical cladding with expansive glass walls to create a home that is both commanding and connected to its landscape.
