I find it so ironic that around the turn of the century, cube farms and suburbia were the ultimate evil and seemingly a fate worse than death in the pop culture.
Meanwhile in 2024, me and my Gen Y/Z colleagues daydream about a comfy dedicated cubicle and a quiet 3.5 bedroom with matching furniture and a spot to grill.
I don’t know if I’d want to go back to an office regardless of how it looks but a cubicle seems perfect to me. I honestly thought about turning my office at home into a cubicle. Like, I have a large room in the basement (36 square meters or something like that) and it is office, gym, hobby room and TV / Gaming room all in one. I’d love to just have a little corner sectioned off to separate the office parts of it.
Same with the house of course. I somewhat achieved that but only through luck and I’m renting (which is fine here in Germany) but man do cubicles seem nice.
It’s kinda like the rooms in IKEA. If I built my own house, I’d just buy complete rooms from IKEA and build a house around it. They’re all so small and cosy.
