Jordan Smith takes a surprisingly practical look at home design by focusing on a detail many floor plans overlook: guest bathroom placement. Using one of his custom home projects as an example, Jordan explains how thoughtful design can make visitors feel more comfortable by keeping powder rooms out of direct sightlines and away from main gathering spaces. He introduces the concept of “plausible deniability,” creating enough separation that guests can use the restroom without feeling like the center of attention. Along the way, he discusses the broader design process at Smith House Company, from site analysis and floor plan iterations to balancing comfort, privacy, circulation, and everyday livability in high-performance custom homes.
