The New York Times recently ran an article on the how more and more couples are sleeping apart, To Have, Hold and Cherish, Until Bedtime, and they mentioned Escala as a development catering to this not so niche market:
At Escala, a condominium project in Seattle, a quarter of the 270 units have double master bedrooms, said John Midby, a partner in the development.

i can’t image sleeping apart (if i had a husband), although if he snoored night after night i’m sure i would start thinking differently :)
my favorite quote from the article:
“Occasionally, the need to separate does have to do with sex. Professor Rosenblatt said one older woman he interviewed said she had her own bedroom because, “I’ve paid my dues. I’m old enough that I don’t want to have sex at 1 a.m.””

I want builders to quit wasting space on
master bedrooms suites and…
Make the Living Room bigger!
As long as I can get a queen bed in the bedroom - it’s large enough. But living rooms that can’t fit a full size sofa are a joke. The worst offenders are skinny townhouses that cram a kitchen, dining area, bathroom, and living room onto one floor, that already has to make room for stairs. And they dare to advertise them as “luxury” units.
