Not Much Room Vs. Cozy, Comfy Abode

We've chosen our team! After fighting the slight urge to throw up while handing over our initial payment (just one of many to come...) The Design/Build team of Alison and Bob at A&E Architects of Brewster have won the race, mostly by being excited (and not being scared off) by our budget constraints, site plan and vision for realizing its potential.

The good part is that now we've put all our unknowns about the design into somebody else's hands for a while.They seem like they'll be able to work with us on cost, as well as understand our common sense, happy living approach to the design. Like most of the world (our country excluded), they did not need convincing that no, we didn't need more room. They get it.

I mean, take a look at "Flip". At our last ultrasound on Tuesday it looked pretty tight in there, yet in true kiddo fashion he/she was having a ball, squirming all around, playing and drinking. Kids dig small spaces. I'm sure that whatever size room Flip ends up with she or he will still crawl into a box someday and call that their home.

Families are meant to be close. The question is, (if we went with it) how close would a 20 foot wide house make us?
