The two story great rooms and foyers with twin bridal staircases were controversial enough when they first started to emerge in large numbers in the 1990s. Nothing screams classic McMansions of the cheezy Clinton era as those two features.

As with anything, it all comes down to proportions and how the space is used and sits with the rest of the house. Too often it's badly done and awkward.

I will just say tastes differ. I don't particularly like it either, but I can see why some people like a house designed like that. I have a open foyer, dual stair case, and a 2 story great room, but a bit more subdued in scale and detailing than the photos.

Is it going to be just as out of fashion in 10-20 years for people to look down on homes that are being built now, where the owners are giving up two story design elements in order to maximize the square footage of the home due to the small lot their finances constrain them to?
