Mary Duggan, a judge for the RIBA House of the Year award has noticed an increase in the trend for a broken-plan layout, leading to a demand for snugs and private spaces, partly due to the changes in the modern family, interests, lifestyle and technology. Adaptable living is not a new concept to P C Henderson. Fergus Pickard, Research & Development Director at P C Henderson comments: “We have worked to offer a range for sliding and folding door hardware that effortlessly divide a multitude of spaces both in the home and in the workplace. By using our residential range of sliding and folding systems, homeowners can combine both open and broken-plan living by neatly storing the room dividers when the spaces are opened for entertaining or socialising.
