I can hardly imagine it and would like to see a draft sometime.
but when driving out, you have to reverse quite a bit and then maneuver around the house.
Thank you for this hopefully timely confession for the readers, because this approach regularly leads to exactly this result. It only gets worse for those who plan themselves and whose "being draft" and "your draft" are roughly congruent and/or who do not yet show any dissatisfaction with the result: they then go with their apprentice jokes ;-) to a general contractor, whose draftsman erases no mistake except approval obstacles from it. The best thing for laypeople is to make their own planning attempts from the outset (only) for the purpose of being able to laugh about them later – and to consistently separate that from the planning of the professional, whom they only supply with keywords. “The most sensible first” would have been to simulate the surroundings (and their shadow cast on one’s own property) here. So, quite the opposite of “excluding, since it is largely not yet present.” That is the biggest problem for homeowners: their bias (= lack of distance and neutrality). Combined with nagging ideas and a vividly overactive imagination, this at best leads to the professional having to go over it with a budget planer.We went around in circles because we already wanted to have a preconceived notion for the architect about how we preferred it and found it more sensible where the garage should be placed. Likewise, we had previously drawn floor plans and ideas. But our opinion changed from one moment to the next, which is why we wanted to leave it up to the architect, who naturally has much more experience and expertise, to decide how to design it. We definitely needed a draft first to have something tangible to build on. At least our ideas led to “nothing.”
