Well, there are many types of houses. Some might not even have the luxury to play with the placements of the rooms in the planning phase.
Can you post an example of those modern houses?

These are examples of the Hungarian peasant houses. They gained their final form in the 19th century, in the country they are still used, renovated, some put more effort into it and make it look like something more cozy and idyllic than on the last picture.
They typically are divided into three parts, the front door opens to the kitchen (well at least in the ones on the Great Hungarian Plains, regional differences existed on the Old Hungary), in most settlement types toward the street was the room or clean room which was basically the bedroom (they spent most of their days outside), to the back was the pantry (sometimes repurposed as another room). And that's about it.
