It's funny, other people would describe my house as a 4 bedroom house, but we couldn't fit if we used our current lounge room as a bedroom - could we?

Look at these, other people can.

Those mezzanines look familiar, I think I have looked at that house sometime before. As I recall it was falling don then. I may be thinking af a totaly differant house.

If you were the sort of family that all watched telly together, or if you put a telly in each child's room (and a computer, in your house) You could fit with only one lounge room. you might need to use a computer when you wanted telly to stop the kids muscling in all the time but it could work. Or if you open planned your lounge/kitchen with 2 comfy gathering areas (and central heating.) You could also go up as the first lot did. You may well not like any of these ideas, but they work for some people.

Yes, but our house is a four bedroom house too.

It works if you're the sort of people who don't *do* anything except watch TV.

Just doze the lot and build yerty, poddy, cobby, domey thingies that attach by tubes so you can just add on an extra when you need it!
And get a goat...you must have a goat.

This idea has great merit.

The goat, of course, is central to the scheme. Can't do it without a goat.

Goat must have floppy ears.

This works for me, just make sure there's enough airlocks. Once you've got pods connected by tubes it's odds on you'll end up in outer space.

Also, attach some magnets to the feet of the goat so that it can walk all over the house even after we've run out of gravity. Goats hate, hate, hate just floating around on the end of their tether.

With all your kids in their teens, and with each of them having a separate room to retreat into when they are feeling especially adolescently sulky/misunderstood/inpsired/etc, you may find the family leisure dynamics change and you only need one loungey space anyway. Just a thought.

Opening the kitchen space onto the lounge room better (and thus heating it well) would also make the kitchen a more hanging-out and less functional sort of space too, thus possibly giving you your second leisure space.
