house design

Strangely, there are tones I feel uncomfortable in my own house. I've been wondering why that's the case. I think that's because the way I think about houses is conditioned somewhat by tradition, rather than function. For instance, I have a study. That's a pretty traditional sort of room to have; a place to hide with your books, to work on sermons and do the accounting. It's also become the modern den (not that we really have dens much in Australia), with boys toys.a far computer to play computer games and hide from your family.

But I like being around my family. I'll spend as much time on Sarah's computer in the family room as mine in the study. But we have laptops now. So computers don't need to be confined to a particular room. I can take my laptop somewhere quiet when I need to work and surf the net in everyone else's company the test of the time. So I wonder of or houses need to be broken up by utility. A quiet room for kids and adults to read and work, and a loud room,a rumpus room for TV and running around and rumbles.
