Negative Wish List 1. We don't want houses and flats where our children won't grow up healthily. 2. We don't want flats consisting of one room divided only with half-height walls which don't allow for isolation from noises and smells. 3. We don't want flats to be decentralised with long corridors, multiple rooms with only one access door or with bathrooms, bedrooms and children's rooms in extensions or annexes. 4. We don't want flats without halls or space for walk-in storage. 5. We don't want staircases and corridors that are insufficient for daily use. 6. We don't want flats without larders for provisions and appliances. 7. We don't want houses without basements, attics and drying rooms. 8. We don't want open terraces exposed to inclement weather. 9. We don't want terraces or roof gardens without appropriate protective barriers. 10. We don't want balustrades which might cause someone to fall instead of preventing accidents. 11. We don't want huge doors and windows which make house cleaning more difficult and more expensive and give little thermal protection. 12. We don't want ill-considered location of bathrooms, we want them to be located between the parents' and children's rooms. 13. We don't want children’s rooms where they sleep in bunks and there is no room to play or learn. 14. We don't want bedrooms with beds hidden in the walls. 15. We don't want living rooms to be simply passages to other rooms. 16. We don't want kitchens to be so small that only empty and unused would they look sufficient. Imitations of the �Mitropa � kitchens are out of question here. 17. We don't want furniture and appliances whose form and materials contradict the real life needs of their users and do not allow you to recognise the material they are made of.
