Why would you need to prioritize one over the other? Plumbing, electrical, etc already utilize the same spaces inside of walls and floors. No reason this couldn’t be done the same way without cutting down the living area at all.
- Nevermark 3y agoFrom a spacial perspective you are right, of course. Perhaps the tradeoff is that for any given house price, the time & money cost of planning and adding "hidden" features that buyers seldom think to prioritize, has to be offset by reductions in other value that buyers are more likely to notice. But, not necessarily space.
- Retric 3y agoSure, but space maximizing cost efficiency isn’t a major priority in most homes as otherwise they would all end up as boxes with simple roof lines and uniform exteriors. Clearly modern subdivisions simply don’t look like that.
