A cousin of mine lived in a 50-60m² place, knocked all the walls down except for bathroom. That means their kitchen, dining and living rooms, and bedroom were all in the same room. Okay, the place looked more spacious, but it was literally form over function through and through. Not my cup of tea.

The kitchen, dining and living room being together is pretty normal in smaller places. I have lived in several that were open that way over the years. It's not great but it's doable. The lack of wall space so less cabinets/closets and overall storage is the usual problem.

However the bedroom.... That's a bit too far.

Yep. I lived in a 35m² apartment where bedroom, office, living and dining room were one room because there was no space to separate them. Kitchen was in a separate, small room, but had no door, so technically it was all one room. There was just not enough space to add walls. However, knocking down every wall possible to join your bedroom with the rest... No. In that case, I'd at least place a divider of some sort.
