there any particular reason for the large offsets?
i can understand the side offsets as thats typical to the real world but
front and rear offsets are usualy all over the place depending on the town
and even subdivision.

It is mainly so there is enough of a front and back yard so people build
something in these spaces. If you don’t leave the offset then the houses are
too close to each other and there isn’t enough room for yard detail. What
happens, at least in the experiments we’ve done up in the Pacific NW, is that
the scale gets screwed up as there are well scaled houses but the yards don’t
make any sense to what people are used to in the real life.
The spacing makes people think about what has to go in the yard and lets the
houses be further apart and more “suburban”
And by all means, use these ideas as jumping blocks for further ideas.
