Homes with open floor plans feature open spaces where dining, kitchen, and living areas flow seamlessly from one space to the next, without walls or doors blocking the light or flow of people. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that architects and builders use these homes use heavy-duty beams instead of using load-bearing walls to carry the weight of the roof or floors above. Open floor plans allow builders to fit the same functionality into fewer square feet, making homes more versatile and more affordable all at once. Innovations in construction materials and techniques also made these homes easier to build. Starting in the 1990s, most new construction homes featured open floor plan designs, so the home you live in now may well have an open floor plan design.
