Project: Broken Plan

Clever design allows subtle ways of defining zones, so rooms can be opened up or closed off as needed, making your space more versatile. Emily Rennie Design has noted the trend away from open-plan to broken-plan. “With the demands of every day modern life, especially new requirements such as working from home, it is important to have an adaptable space that can change to suit everything that life throws at you.” cast london adds a practical note: “Design your steel product before creating the opening for it to ensure the design is exactly how you would like it and everything else can be built around it.”
