For our latest lookbook, interiors expert Michelle Ogundehin has selected ten examples of interiors with glazed internal windows, doors and partitions that create clever zoning and add privacy while still letting the light through. In the ongoing search for work-from-home space, walls are making a return as open-plan layouts are found wanting, writes architect, author and TV presenter Ogundehin, who has curated this selection of images from Dezeen s archive. But walls block out natural light as well as potentially making spaces feel poky and claustrophobic, adds Ogundehin, who joins Dezeen s lookbooks team as occasional guest editor. Instead, consider an internal window or semi-glazed partitioning. The latter could be fixed or moveable, in the form of concertina partitions or pocket doors, so they can be slid or folded away at the end of the working day.
