Children's Realm
Pattern 137Description
Cluster children's bedrooms together, with their own play / common space if practical. Avoid scattering kids' rooms across the house — the cluster becomes an autonomous zone they can call theirs.
Why this exists
Kids cluster naturally; a clustered children's wing supports independent play and reduces parental supervision overhead.
