Further change requests from us are:
- Fireplace will be relocated on the ground floor, adjacent to the dining/living area so that we can have a passage from the hallway to the living room (the wall will be adjusted a bit here...)
Possibly replace the spiral staircase with a staircase with a landing. Architect’s note: That requires space.
The idea with the door to the living room conflicts with the idea of a landing staircase.
Children’s room floor-to-ceiling windows likewise, see north view,
Better no window in the bedroom than floor-to-ceiling ones.
So I say it a third time in other words: when you step through the door from the hallway to the dressing room, suddenly and unexpectedly a bedroom lurks there from the right in a veritable ambush.
a veritable ambush a bedroom. That causes more of a heart attack than a feeling that the room composer had virtuously arranged this. I get scared just looking at it.
A planner who does not notice this when drawing himself has some other screws loose, and surely did not study architecture, but only civil engineering.
Unbelievable what you write there. It is almost exaggerated, and if you had not commented this so completely exaggerated three times, one could just consciously overlook it.
I would communicate to that you are not an architect. Your tone or writing is becoming somewhat presumptuous. As a layman, you should not always exaggerate to such an extent here that the writer is suggested to have to change everything.
I mean, I find your notes worth reading and partially also amusing, but we can’t really benefit from your experience here
The hint to replace the planner seems to me to be too rough a step that would not personally suit me, especially under the premise that this office only has one other planner. I find ketchup and mayo good enough as long as it can qualify for a Michelin star.
Remember... don’t let yourself be influenced regarding the choice of architect.
Think about why he implemented this or that the way he did. That should be part of your communication with each other. You can’t just use up architects like the listings in the phone book. You only work well with a few, and even if a design is not 100%, you can develop it.
Remember: we always complain here. But as the client, you must not overestimate the mentioned flaws because they are not necessarily obvious flaws, just matters of perception. And you should check if it’s just hot air being wasted here or if there is actually something to the criticism.
That is true. But especially in this context, we see how many “big” mistakes or illogical solutions he has produced.
Feels somewhat like holding on to an old relationship.
It almost seems like dissing: do you have a problem with your old relationship and go to a friend who just bashes the woman, then you eventually believe you actually don’t want her. Instead of suggestions to solve the problem, comes “break up and start over.”
Ok, sometimes the best, but act just because of a forum, reconsider.
Well, I don’t see the current one as a talented architect either. Both designs are far from a "dream house."
In our eyes. One might like the entrance like this, another like that, Katja
Which Rensch-Haus would be the template? The offer at R. is too confusing for me. I am tearing my hair out. If I look at your drawing, I would have many “hooks” to criticize the design: the long way to the kitchen, the open presence of the living room does not bring coziness. If you remove the wall in the kitchen to have an island, you look partly into the large hallway and the stairway to the basement. Too small a wardrobe on the ground floor and upstairs it results in a remainder called dressing room. But then a sovereign parents’ balcony right in front of the child’s nose. I don’t know if this layout would stand if the OP posted this here as the architect’s idea.
