Among all designs for the home, the open space design is often attributed to offices. In learning environments, this has been associated with stress reduction. But in reality, residential areas actually have the most to gain from open space design. Here are the benefits you can underline once you create your pitch deck to a client:
1. It is energy-efficient.
Electricity costs can create a big dent on the monthly budget. With open space design, you can cut electricity costs as it eliminates walls, which cut areas of the home thus removing the need for several cooling or heating units that run simultaneously. Basically, with a strategic design, one or two units is enough to do the job of cooling or heating several areas of the home at the same time.
2. It is very flexible
Undecided about which design direction to take? Whether it’s because of the lifestyle or the preference that’s driving (or not driving) the lack of decision, an open space design is the perfect antidote. For one, it does not have a lot of elements to begin with which makes the decision making easier. It also literally opens up the space to a lot of design potential.
3. It is fast to execute
If you are looking for something that can be done fast because of events in the near future (i.e. baby on the way, plan to sell the home, family members coming over for an extended vacation), then this is design direction may be right for you as it is not about adding but subtracting – in many ways including clutter.
4. It is not expensive
Compared to other design directions, open space design is cost-efficient. If anything, the bulk of the budget goes to breaking down walls and re-aligning the whole layout more than building so it does not require so much construction materials. Thus, if budget is an issue, then open space design is the way to go.
5. You can do many activities in one place.
You can cook, dine, and bond with your family who’s watching at the living room all the at same time. This is the beauty of open space, you get to do many other things at the same time because there are no walls or doors to limit your space or movement.
