My ideal personal bubble extends approximately a mile in all directions, but I'll take a few feet to the street in lieu of a shack in the woods.
Photos! I want to see your apartment!
Have you tried a screen to kind of hide your bed area, or is that too much trouble for not enough reward? I can definitely see wanting a distinction between public and private, or for that matter between sleeping/dressing/etc. and everything else in life. That was really helpful for me since I did almost all of my work at home, and I was able to use my dining room as a little office.
It was that big? It did feel nice and roomy, though. Your kitchen was pretty awesome. : )
The roominess was great. I think all the windows probably helped. :D I personally would've traded some space in my living/dining room to get a bit more counter space in the kitchen, but in general, yes it was awesome. (I've been thinking lately that it might be possible to build one's counters a bit lower than usual, then add a second half-counter about a foot above that. It would be a place to put the toaster and microwave, thus freeing up space for food prep on the real counter.
I suspect that they were an attempt to discourage shanties...

Very possibly...
