I really enjoyed Sarah Susanka's The Not-So-Big House which has a lot of good examples.
Also, the Small Cool 2010 Contest. I think these are mostly apartments, but I'm sure a lot of the same principles apply.
I would not want to live there. Big open spaces like that look gorgeous but actually tend to make me (and most people) uncomfortable. As an example, when you go to a restaurant would you rather sit out in the middle of the floor at a table or in a booth? I have some friends who live in big McMansions where everything is oversized - huge doors, high ceilings, etc. They're impressive but they're not all that comfortable.
I'm not the only one saying this. I think Christopher Alexander talked about it in A Pattern Language and I know Susan Susanka talks about it in The Not So Big House.
A cathedral would be great for entertaining and partying (in fact isn't the limelight in NYC in an old church) but the scale is all wrong for a home.
