Open floor plan with a kitchen visable from the front door? Lived in a house with one. HATED it. No one needs to have their dirty dishes and food smells grewt guests when they wwlk through the door or pop in to say hello.

What I like is a center hall floorplan with spacious defined rooms separated by large double sized door openings and a spacious kitchen with a casual living space and windows.

Kitchen and casual area in the back, defined formal rooms in the front, with some sort of division between the two.

Windows on all sides of the house and good airflow, like they did in the nicer houses before AC.

Anything but a completely or virtually wall less main floor.

Wrong? What is wrong? Someone's opinion is wrong? Two-story great rooms are wrong?

NP- I hate two story foyers with a passion. 99% of the time they are added to relatively modest, badly manufactured homes. I prefer a human scale entry that then may lead to more expansive rooms, otherwise it's just uncomfortable. A large foyer on a true mansion is another story entirely.

Yeah, the article is talking about more specific stuff. Like types of windows, the use of stones or certain lines on a roof.

I read the article. I'm guessing is that the previous posters were adding their own thoughts to the list, not responding to the list.

You didn't read the article and 2 story are in fact used in larger homes.

Two-story great rooms and foyers.

Farmhouse sinks. (Does that count as architecture?)

LOL

Wrong

I rather like my nine light door. But my house is 120 years old...

OP here: It would help if I actually posted an entire link

I think i agree with most of these. My house has decorative shutters though and I think it looks kind of empty w/out them. I guess I could add real shutters but I am poor, so there is that.
