Ways to cut costs

So after months of working with a builder broker, designing our new home and waiting for the builder's quotes, we have now hit an abrupt reality that we can't afford it. The house is just too big, totaling 373m2 for a single story 5x3 home. We need to cut about 40-50m2 to bring it within budget and I was wondering if anyone had some ideas of what we could do to down size or remove in order to save space. We could get rid of a bathroom although I would still like 3 toilets. The activity area could go but we still need some sort of computer nook as we don't like devices in bedrooms. We have 4 teenagers (2 boys 2 girls) so we really need the 5 rooms. I would really appreciate any ideas as we are feeling really discouraged at the moment.
