A lot of people got sick of open concept design when the entire family was working and going to school from home during the pandemic.

The trend didn’t start with “Seinfeld” and “Friends.” Please forgive me, but that’s a little silly. I remember builders selling new homes with an open floor plans back in the 80s when my wife and I were just starting out. Plus, what about all those TV shows back in the 60s and 70s? Brady Bunch quickly comes to mind. They had an open floor plan, too.

With regard to your second point, they’re not building any new homes anywhere with closed floor plans. And the reason is very simple. They want to sell homes. They’re building what their customers/clients want.
