Perhaps. We definitely felt that with one architect we used - at least the feeling that architectural elements were more important than strict budget. They proposed a "monolithic" wall that would pivot to create different fluid spaces for a build that was already having stuff cut to meet budget. Maybe it was a case of underestimating actual costs - we were one of the last residential projects they did so might just have been more used to commercial budgets. Was amazing in the end though - defintely worth doing with an architect even if we had to fight a few battles.
