• There is nothing wrong with what they've proposed, just not what I asked them to produce. I'm taking the kids out for their daily exercise now and to try to calm down a bit. Will do diagrams etc when I get home to try and explain things better.

  • Yeah that’s probably a better idea, this sort of shit is always very disappointing - really takes the wind out of your sails.

  • I don't want to teach you to suck eggs, but I suggest that you sit on the architects plans for a while and really think about them, maybe even ask the architect to call you to discuss them.
    Architects and designers are constantly trying to balance clients ideas / wishes with what we consider to be best design practice. There may be legitimate reasons for your architect to prepare the design in a different manner to what you've envisioned, and it might lead to a better result - but you'll not know unless you discuss the plans with them.

    After that, if you're not convinced, tell them to prepare a scheme based on what you've asked for! If they can't or won't, it's time to go elsewhere.
