This plan is not good enough....tell d architect to move d wall of d left backward to align wt d right 1.....d sitting room also is a close area and doesn't lead to any wear from d front side.also I don't think there is a visitors toilet. D plan look like wasting of space as well....adequate corrects has been made by d architects is d house |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by bonetalk(m): 10:44am On Nov 25, 2016 |
the position of the entrance door is wrong, the wardrobe in that room should be repositioned to allow the door flushes with wall,,, the kitchen is too small for the building and it needs cross ventilation. there are many wasted spaces in d room, non functioning space the internal arrangement is poor |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by Hollar007(m): 12:20pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
Adaowerri111: The design is whack.... I can't believe it's designed by an architect... The looby will be dark, the kitchen and dining is unrealistic, the store is far from the kitchen.... The building shape is irregular wc leads to wasting of space and construction ease..... Pm me on 07061532953 I'll giv u a nice draft wit d dimensions free of charge.... If u lyk u can even post it for consideration 2 Likes

Many thing is wrong with this design. All i see is wasted spaces everywhere. What's with lobby everywhere? Oh men, the architect is actually a novice. I just hope he's not a graduate. |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by bezimo(m): 1:23pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
I noticed 2 of the bedrooms don't have a wardrobe/closet in them.I would suggest a redesign to accommodate that. All the best on your prohect |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by fernandezcocky: 2:18pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
1. To start with, could you state the total area of your proposed site e.g 15m x 30m or 50ft x 100ft. This will assist in assuming the spatial area of each partitioned space or d grid used by your Architect for this conceptual design. 2. What was the design brief you stated to your Architect? 3. What is your estimated budget for the project? If you can adequately answer the questions above,it will provide me with more insight for constructive criticism of the presented preliminary design you posted. However, for now note the followings: 1. The spaces are not well articulated in terms of spatial programming/planning 2. Not all the spaces are cross ventilated and considering the fact that we are in the tropics, thats disastrous. 3. There are some dead spaces tagged as lobby and one or two of them will not have the benefit of natural lighting even during daytime. 4. I believe you are a woman,which means your kitchen & store are one of your treasured spaces other than the other room, the proportion of the kitchen to other spaces is not satisfactory to me. 5. Where is this project going to be sited? Tell your Architect to check out the town planning laws/building regulations code of the state as it regards setback and percentage of built area vs total site area. For more consultation/advice, do the needful by responding adequately. Thank you. |

mtchris: I dont think the designer is qualified yet. Probably just a draughtman but I know quite a load of draughtmen who are even more articulate than this person in question |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by fernandezcocky: 2:31pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
power900: I'm quite certain the client engaged the service of a professional because of his/her belief in quality & standard and this does not in any way significantly affect the project cost. Dont forget that this is probably his/her first construction project,is it a crime to get it right the first time? or are you just here to promote quackery and unprofessionalism? I'm stunned by your contribution! |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by artizanni: 2:32pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
Hello OP, Please accept our gratitude for requesting a review of your plan from us. Kindly note that all designs must seek to Balance Safety with Aesthetics/ Efficiency and Cost. In the light of the above, the design you presented is both inefficient, unsafe and relatively costlier in comparison to more efficient floor plans/layouts. It will do you well to ask for a complete redesign of this plan, by a Professional Architect. We hope this short review helps you in your quest to build the masterpiece you have in mind. Kind Regards. Artizanni ltd. |

1. Living room does not have a focus point where TV and home theater Machines can be planted: let it face exit door. 2. Why Maters bedroom is located at the extreme end? inter change it with the bedroom located beside the living room. 3. Why chicken exit door is at the backyard? what if you wanted to pack in some Food stuff from your Car, how will you drive to where kitchen is located? Is has to be located beside House not at the back for easy access. 4. The kitchen size need to be enlarged to accommodate some of your kitchen materials. 5. The Horizontal position of the plan is too wide which makes it to look like a shop. Relocate the last 2 bedroom to the back of Living room. Take any one u feel comfortable with and leave the rest. |

fernandezcocky: The guy that designed or drafted this is an architect and have been in this profession for more than 23years, that was what he said though |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by fernandezcocky: 3:56pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
Adaowerri111: Wow...I have my reservation about that, but the ball is in your court "you call the shot". Even if this design is done for free,it is highly flawed. Best of luck! |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by fernandezcocky: 4:01pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
power900: Is it the grammar that gives you headache sir or my personal professional opinion of getting it right from onset? Anyway, wish you the very best! |
Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by Adaowerri111: 4:14pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
fernandezcocky: Meant to write 13 years, the design wasn't done for free, paying heavily for it as I need to get this done before april next year |

Re: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by 222Martins(m): 4:24pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
Adaowerri111:My honest opinion, get three preliminary draft sketches and estimate from three engineers first, then compare and go with your guts. This should come at no cost. |
