     The individuality of each home is further distinguished by the time that each personal preference activity occurs, compatibility of simultaneous activities, or requirements for separation between various family activities. For instance, individual members of the family may want to perform different activities simultaneously in the same space. If children attempt to practice singing in the family room while their father is watch- ing a football game on television, a conflict will occur when they try to use the same space at the same time. Hence, it is important to provide spaces to accommo-

date each family activity for the interval that the activity occurs. The layout of the home should reflect an arrangement that is planned for the contemporaneous pursuit of a variety of family activities.
