Problem
Scattered children's rooms with no connection to one another leave children without a realm of their own to play in freely, away from constant contact with the adult world. At the same time, they should not be cut off entirely from the rest of the house.
Solution
Gather the children's rooms into one connected realm of their own, joined by open thresholds to the shared rooms, so they have room to play freely there while still remaining part of the household.
