Choosing the space where we live reflects our needs and lifestyle more and more. Nowadays, a home is much more than a place to rest. It’s a place to work, socialise and where much of our lives take place. That’s why the way it’s organised can be key when it comes to buying it. But between open space or ‘traditional’ rooms, which is the best choice?
Two ways, different ways of living
Without physical barriers, open space is becoming more and more popular. This option provides spaciousness, continuity and light. With spaces being better utilised and opened up, the interaction between family members becomes more spontaneous.
Despite this, this type of layout brings challenges: the lack of separation means less privacy and noise or smells can spread more easily. Open spaces require even more discipline in terms of organisation and storage.
Designed to create more ‘controlled’ environments, traditional rooms offer a different perspective on the home. Unlike open spaces, this option can work well, for example, for families with different routines. However, this model can make spaces more closed off and limit flexibility of use.
What if you don’t have to choose?
In contemporary architecture, flexibility is increasingly valued. That’s why many projects are no longer limited to a single model, allowing you to choose a hybrid solution. In addition, objects such as sliding doors, removable partitions, modern screens or glass panels allow you to reorganise to your preference. This approach combines the best of both worlds: the fluidity and luminosity of open space with the functionality and privacy of traditional rooms.
At Ponto Urbano, our buildings are created with the client’s comfort and well-being in mind. Each project presents flexible architectural solutions. More than choosing a specific model, today’s architecture proposes spaces that evolve in a versatile way and keep pace with everyday life.
