mircea_popescu: 1. if you're the sort of man worth the mention in the first place, then you must be able to entertain twelve at the morning's notice. consequently you will need a "great" hall of at least 100 sqm, more like 150-200 where to seat them around a table, + a kitchen half that at least + 2-3 servants so another 50 in living space for them.
mircea_popescu: 2. if you're the sort of man worth the mention in the first place, then you must have 2-4 of what's commonly named "wives", except without the annoying in permanent residence. this means they get a bedroom, and you also need a great bedroom to play with them in, which ideally should be separate from the hall, and they'll want 100 sqm of bathroom including complicated waterholes and whatnot. plus closets and various other hidi
mircea_popescu: 3. if you're the sort of man worth the mention in the first place, you also engage in some sort of activities. i am not speaking here of an "office" where to sit and engage in bureaucracy, because really, government-made men aren't ever worth the mention. but alf at the extreme could prolly soak up 10`000 sqm, so there is that. call it 500 and let it be.
mircea_popescu: now let's add up : on the conservative side, you need 150 + 250 + 500 = 850 sqm ; on the expansive side you can call it 15`000 and be good.
mircea_popescu: add to this the usual technological 15% (you'll need hallways too, right ?) and suddenly you're talking 1k sqm / 10`000 sqfeet as an absolute minimum. going all the way up to multiple acres of floorspace.
phf: they don't really know what to do with "large houses" here. i've been to a few, and i can never discern a cause to any of the rooms. it's basically "place we sleep, place we shit and place we hang out", everything else is a filler, a place to put "artwork". on the other hand not even being "man worth the mention" i can put to use very large spaces. own bedroom, shared bedroom, library room, computer room, workshop (i don't have a lathe,
