The plan was adapted from the one provided to emphasize a grand central space (the great room) where the kitchen and dining are based. Two sides of the house each have gables, one being the master bedroom and all related spaces (mudroom, bathroom) and the other being the Game Room. Having openings on both side allow for easy cross ventilation and lots of light, as does the clerestory windows in the Great room which is much higher and also allows the stack effect for cooling (hot air rising). The children's bedrooms come off the main hall and can sized easily to meet your needs.
