The Innovative Family Room

Is has been said that the term "family room" came from the Eichler design camp. His tracts were among the first to create a living space where the kitchen and a recreational space were open to each other. A mother could perform her household tasks while keeping a close eye on children's activities. In some homes, the family room is used as a semi-formal dinning room, which allows more space in the living room, which was a living/dining combo.

The cooking area countertop was designed at a lower height which is not only more ergonomically correct, but it also reduces the division between cooking and living space.
