Then forget every clever word and detailed advice given and proceed with the essential emergency rescue plan, because there won't be time for more:
1. scroll back to the beginning of the thread and go through every post individually
2. write down every specific criticism from it
3. print out this list, once for your wife and once for yourself
4. give each of you ten sticky dots, particularly important things get two
5. addressing these criticism points is the ONLY task for the planner:
the "worst" = most urgent are the points that received the most points combined from your wife and you; ALL things without points remain as is or will only be fixed in the next house.
You can forget the appointment with a freelance architect, with so little time no better planning is possible. Two to three months minus structural engineering, heating demand calculation, and so on (calculated from the planner’s holiday end) are hardly more than zero.
Use the rest of the planner’s vacation time to come to terms with this approach. That is my final word, over & out.
I understand the above approach, because I professionally do utility analyses, it has already been done a long time ago. Different approach, but there are plenty of esoteric methods for that.
In any case, we still have enough time to see 1-2 new plans from the architect. We will point out to her that she should develop something independently from our ideas.
In the last few days, we have continued tinkering with the existing plan, and if we don’t like the new ones better, we will roughly go in the direction of the attachment. The living room is for us to watch TV and unwind in the evening. We associate cooking much more with the garden and spend longer there during the day than on the sofa. Later we have to shift the sofa to the 3.8m wall. But I think that is completely fine. I didn't want to set up a one-way street in front of the TV; for that, I have enough space in the kids’ room and basement.
Whether we want to keep our large furniture (sideboard and bookcase) we have to decide soon. We currently have 8 10-15m2 big rooms. Lots of wall = lots of furniture. In the new house it will be open and therefore difficult.
