(quote)I've had plenty of discussions with architects, on kitchens etc, and believe it or not, some can actually see and act on the points i make to them. Most Arch's are hairy fairies with their heads up in the clouds, that haven't got a dammed clue about living in there designs, let alone in the real world!!! (quote)
lol, tell me about it. I am currently wiring a £4 million build 5 bed house, and I am sure that from an architects point of view it is a great design. But they sacrifice any functionality so that they can achieve their vision. for example, the whole house is an arc design, so beds 2 and 3 (in the middle of the arc) are so cramped I couldnt even fit the cbus light switches in the ensuite. i dont know about you but if I was paying £4 million to build a house I would be a bit peived if I burnt my face on the towel rail everytime I was dropping the kids of to school if you know what I mean!! just remembered as well in the planning stages, the architect and client suggested to my boss that in the lounge they should have just 1 floor socket underneath the sofa for a lamp!!! I dont know how there brains operate sometimes.
