Many of Alexander's "design patterns" were terrible for actual living on a reasonable budget. Like what are you supposed to do with that space when the children get older? I read the book and was not impressed.
That space takes less than having a room for every child. And the answer to your question is, like with every parent whose child has left home, whatever you want including moving somewhere else.
Maybe we read a different book though. I remember Patterns about properly designing parks and communities, and even some on house design but none of them seemed expensive.
