The trend for open plan spaces have developed with a shift towards the creation of defined, dedicated spaces. Never before have we had to utilise the existing environment for multi-purpose functionality. Here we see a need for creating zonal areas fit for purpose, whether for cafe's, chill out zones or within the home setting. Extending spaces to the outdoors is a getaway from enclosed spaces. We have seen a huge increase in the need for blurring the lines between nature and the interior/exterior space.
