closed plan. noun. 1. an office floor plan consisting of fully enclosed office spaces. Compare open plan.
The term open floor plan refers to a house whose common spaces have no walls or partial walls between them. Structurally, heavy-duty beams carry the weight of the floor above, not walls. Aesthetically, a sense of openness and greater traffic flow is promoted by an open floor plan. A hallmark of mid-century modern house design, open floor plans apply only to common areas. Exempt spaces include: bathrooms, powder rooms, bedrooms, and home offices.
