I really dislike that whole ‘open space’ idea where the kitchen, dining ‘area’, living room all blur together.

I'm with you. Walls and doors were invented for a reason...that being to keep noise out so I can FReep.

Gotta go against this one. My office is on the second floor. So the sound issues are not as pronounced. But I love the Family room / kitchen separated by a half wall. When entertaining everyone ends up in the kitchen anyways so you may as well open it up.

Personally I like the people who turned the old Atlas-F missile silos into houses. Nothing beats a house with a 10 story basement that can withstand a nuclear blast. Talk about a man cave.
