Is that the death of the open floor plan, or is it a pause, a hibernation, a hiatus?

Ari EngelmanGUEST
I mean, I think for us, the reality is we never designed an open floor plan to begin with because we saw the negatives of it anyway.

Ari EngelmanGUEST
So I don't think it's maybe drastically changed the way that we do our design work.

Ari EngelmanGUEST
What I think it actually has done is brought everyone else to realize why it is necessary to separate those spaces.

Ari EngelmanGUEST
but to make it to where you've got what Tim always refers to as parentheses on a room so that you actually have a sense of place and a sense of space inside the house versus just everything everywhere.

Ari EngelmanGUEST
I think it is that attention to the space that people started to actually grow when they realized that they were going to be in their houses so much longer.

So that's just a concern that I don't know what the answer is, but other than trying to get more people involved in that.
