Love balconies and overlooks

I once saw a plan in a magazine for a three story house built with a central open space. All levels could look out over the middle space. That's a lot like typical houses are built in tropical climates, although they are usually only one or two stories and the middle is open no roof. I've never seen that plan anywhere again. Most house plans today are so ordinary.

Here is one I really like. The plan is here: First floor and second floor. Aren't those second floor bedrooms cozy with their little baths?

Here is a back view.
