open floor

Shared workspace layout

Open floor describes a layout without walls or partitions dividing a space.

In architecture and real estate, an open floor plan eliminates barriers between rooms—typically combining kitchen, dining, and living areas into one continuous space: The apartment's open floor plan makes it feel larger.

In meetings, open floor means the discussion is available to anyone: The chair opened the floor to questions.
