Symmetrical elevations are boring!
And that floor plan is absolutely horrendous!
I like that symmetrical elevation, considering that one end is a side loading 3 car garage. Though I'm sure the all white exterior is not getting any favors by being photographed in the snow...
The layout seems fine, with a formal dining and formal living off each side of the entry, and an open rear section as was described elsewhere as a hybrid open concept. I mean, I'm not a fan of the finishes and that primary bathroom is way too white for me. I'd have not put so many barstools at the kitchen island, but I LOVE the wet bar! I'd have the formal living BE the living, and put a pool table in the family room.

I strongly disagree. Some of the greatest buildings in the world are symmetrical. In fact I prefer more traditional symmetrical architecture to the cold modern asymmetrical monstrosities built these days.
And I see nothing wrong with the floor plan. It’s a stunning home and a well laid out upscale home. I’m not sure what makes you say otherwise.
And it's certainly not a small, cheap, entry level house.
"Saving builders money" does not mean that builders only use the money-saving stuff on "small, cheap, enntry-level houses."
A builder who saves money constructing an upmarket house pockets a higher percentage of its sale price, so there's an incentive to save money there as well. Or the builder can charge less for the house, saving the buyer money. Do you think rich people don't like to save money, too?

The point was that people are saying the open concept was something that is only done on smaller, low end houses as it is supposed to save builders money and make a small house look bigger. It is not. it is on homes at all price points and has nothing to do with saving money.

Who said that on this thread? I sure didn't.
