From experience: high ceilings, and big space let you have very different thoughts than if you are in a tiny flat.
I've worked in an advertising agencies where the office is designed to look plain, and let the work stand out more. It was also designed to look good with the macs. The lighting is different for different areas, and also floors are designed with the types of clients they service in mind. Different designs for sectors like financials to creatives to airlines. With different journeys through the building depending on who the visitor was. There are white boards built into the walls, meeting rooms, board rooms, pitch rooms, reading areas, relaxing areas, and other special purpose areas including thinking areas.
There are architects who specialise in party dynamics, and provoking all sorts of different emotions. There are people who specialise in shopping centers, public areas, and sporting areas. Each type of place has it's own needs and requirements.
However, none of this is new - it's been happening since people have made and designed buildings.
