It is a house design that lacks a sense of balance and proportion throughout.

I'm actually having issues with the hallway being too wide on our house plan at the moment. We are working to reduce this so when I saw your link I showed my partner and told him that this is what we are headed towards if we are not careful. Sometimes bigger isn't always better, lol...
