141 A Room of One's Own

May be part of Intimacy Gradient (127), The Family (75), House for a Small Family (76), Common Areas at the Heart (129).

Conflict

No one can be close to others, without also having frequent opportunities to be alone.

Resolution

Give each member of the family a room of his own, especially adults. A minimum room of one's own is an alcove with desk, shelves, and curtain. The maximum is a cottage- like a Teenagers Cottage(154), or an old age cottage(155). In all cases, especially the adult ones, place these rooms at far ends of the intimacy gradient- far from the common rooms.

May contain Common Areas at the Heart (129), Bed Alcove (188), Home Workshop (157), Workspace Enclosures (183), Teenager's Cottage (154).
