Good evening dear forum community,
Next week we will start the preliminary design planning with the architect. My mind has been working on the topic of the house for months, meaning, of course, that I have many ideas and naturally also my own vision of the house. I have played around with my own hand sketches of the exterior appearance and have also thought about the room layout.
Now, of course, I know that many architects here in the forum see the attempts of clients to plan floor plans, let’s say mildly, very critically. But I couldn’t keep my hands off the planning programs after all. I put all my ideas into a draft. Whether it is total nonsense or perhaps contains something useful for the planning, I cannot assess.
The question that arises for me now is: Should I better leave the floor plan in the drawer or should I confront the architect with it? Would it be better to let the architect find a solution without preconceived notions? Or is it better to show the architect my (our) ideas using the self-made floor plan and then have him make something out of it (possibly something completely different)?
What do you think?
Many thanks and best regards
Ben
