Just got some new plans

After two meetings with the architects, we're still in discussion about the features and layout of the house. They sent some pdf's today (along with an email that the deputy architect is going to be gone until Thursday, so she won't respond to my feedback until this time next week, whaaaaat!!!!!) and we have some constructive feedback.

Here are the plans. Our suggestions include some representation of a "men's room" kind of basement space, a back door, shelves built into the walls of the dining room, and the embodiment of the concept of a sunken living room without the dining room being set so low. Also, I'm not a fan of the compressed kitchen. With all that space, I don't want it to feel like a cabin or a vacation house.

Below are some links to low-res images, and a link to the master PDF below. Don't spend a ton of time analyzing these docs, because our house will be decidedly different. In the future, it might be neat looking at the evolution of the plans, but these miss our stated mark and I'm temporarily frustrated a bit with the process. The elevation (external) representation of these is missing, so there's not a lot of context right now.
