It is very important for an architect to ask for client brief before designing, even if the client ask him to design 3 bedroom for him, he should ask for brief. We should know the difference between an Architect and draftman ![]() omanzo02: |

Mostly, there is always regular power supply and sometimes introduce coutyard(depending on the designer/architect). There should be a way to reduce that lobby. vickzie: 1 Like |

omanzo02: I respect your opinion but ... Actually the better wordings would be , clients should learn to communicate to the architect what they want and what they can afford. The client owns the build , he is the employer of the architect. Lots of times people contact an architect to design a 4 bedroom duplex for them with a masters bedroom. That's it!! Then the architect will go wild ![]() ![]() Some folks are regretting their build because they weren't fully involved in the design process, the build did not capture the "dream" that they wanted to bring to reality. I was driving with a friend one time, he saw a duplex under construction, liked it, we meandered to the site and he asked for the engineer.. they swapped contacts and he told the engineer to build exactly the same for him. All my effort to have him look at the floor plan, critique, make adjustments etc before the build fell on deaf ears.. well, in his defense, he was building with his money not mine... fair enough !! But that building have been on the market for sale for quite some time now because he didn't like the layout of the build.. it didn't feel right he said... this is after 40m+ spent on the build. He could have identified these things at the design stage. Another guy in my what's group commissioned an architect for a 4 bedroom bungalow. And oga architect delivered. He returned to the country to visit but wasn't happy... venting.. hin must kill the architect, architect built nonsense for him ![]() I asked , what was his brief to the architect.. he said to build a 4 bedroom bungalow! I asked how many rooms are they, he said 4 and I said very well then, you got 4 bedroom bungalow ![]() He said the architect should have known to make it all ensuite, this and that... hmmm... seriously? An architect should tell you how to spend your money? Should tell you what to like?? 1 Like |

Ibk2020: Can u share the site plan to start with why he came up with this concept in terms of shape that has wasted space. *Probably u dont need a store right? * Probably u gave him the impression that u will run on solar or inverter system- lobby is long n will definitely be dark as pointed out by @Next *Are you a lover of long patio/terrace to have a long one that extends to the back of the dining? * Those beveled walls, they ain't necessary there at all, why not have a straight wall. *The master toilet n that of the room beside it needs to be rearranged without u mentioning jacuzzi self. |

Majorly, the lobby(T-lobby, the darkness will be too much). Tell him to reduce the lobby. I understand the architect is trying to make sure all the rooms are cross ventilated, therefore reason for the irregular shape(recess). It would have been easier for him if it is a 4 bedroom, it always difficult to get a 3 bedroom cross vent. The ogas here will add more solution. Cc:saydfact, Dennis3D, and co. Ibk2020: |

mrsteel: Nicely stated. I wonder how people jump into conclusions here so fast. Reducing the participatory time and essence of people who ought to voice out where need be. I just read a member saying FIRE the architect. Really, just like that? What happens to asking him reasons for his design and if not convinced, ask him to change it. I don't like the way some people talk here seriously. That someone world for you doesn't mean you shouldn't respect the person at all. Some comments are not necessary, pls all concerned should take note of that. That's why personally i involve clients in plan reviews of at least two times or three before final conclusions. Everyone's opinions are fine but be constructive other than insultive. Thanks. 3 Likes |

Abolarin91: Bros, people have spoken so much ill words against the architect here. I would advise let the client sort it out with him by reviewing the design with him over again before bringing it here. From what I have observed here, clients here are always right. Vendors, contractors and other workers are always wrong. No matter how they present their case. Most of the people writing already did so in their own accord whether justifiable or not. So I will leave it at that. This place is a faceless community where everyone volunteers to help and assist each other in one way or the other. In my opinion, I don't think the forum in recent has been fair on both a service provider and a service receiver. 4 Likes |
