I don't understand the love of open plan either

Its very 'working class' where essentially everyone lived in the
kitchen, because it was the only warm room.

Yeah but then the kitchen was a normal sized room and kept warm by
having half a dozen or more people in it. Not half an acre of open
space with high ceiling that takes 20kW to keep even vaugly warm.

I like large rooms (on the Barett scale) but not open plan.
