Some progress, but also some more ambivalence to our major design goals. In this run of drawings, we see the floor plan expanding 8 feet on the longer axis to accommodate the back door and some space for a pantry and some storage. We also see a 180 degree rotation of the 2nd floor, which ignores our major goal of positioning the 'lounge' in the northwest corner of the house to take advantage of the view and punching the ceiling through to the 3rd floor. Also, the third floor loses its cool entry to the shared sink area of the bathroom and surrenders a significant amount of closet space to the newly-expanded 2nd bedroom.
My feedback is to put a lock on the 1st floor. Everything can be assumed as approved until we start nitpicking the final design. The data above was given to the architect, but we're going to talk on the phone this afternoon rather than trade emails. My main message is that I'd rather talk than trade drawings, and I'll make myself available for approval on any change to the drawings.
