Agreed with above, community areas should be open so they can be easily shared with everyone and reduced barriers.

I don’t care for massive bedrooms and bathrooms but I don’t want them small either. I shouldn’t be bumping into walls or objects in these spaces or shower walls, make them big enough to easily use.

The one thing that irks me more than anything is the formal dining room. It hardly ever gets used because everyone congregates into the kitchen area which is why the kitchen does need to be large. IMHO having no dining room, a large kitchen with a big island with seating/space for larger groups and a nice sized family room is all you need. No formal living room either, give me an office space instead.

There was a time I didn’t understand lofts either but then my kids became teenagers and having that extra space is nice when the kids friends are over.
