I got this draft from my architect asking me to make corrections where needed, as a layman or with me not being too good with structures I'm bringing it here for the professionals to examine, if there's any defect solutions are welcome, thanks

What's the grid size?

Need to confirm if the dining and kitchen are big enough.

by recessing the Window between the Guest bedroom and the room at the extreme a bit more, the Guest bedroom can have a strip window introduced in that area for cross ventilation.

Living room also needs a focal point ( Flat wall to an extent where Tv and such can hang in line with the sitting arrangement.

Tell your Architect to include furniture arrangements.

At least rooms are cross ventilated.

Move the main entrance door to the wall shared with the w/c (Guest toilet I believe). It creates more usable space within and directs traffic better............. place a large decorative window in its place so it's framed by the columns visually.

Living room needs bigger Windows and if it can be cross ventilated, the better for it.

For now the plan has not been dimensioned and not grid yet. This is just a first draft to which modifications will be made. So, what do you think?

Made a few notes.

Will be back again to go through the plan.

Major observation for now is...... You'll need a larger kitchen and dinning.

Thanks a lot will be waiting for your observations

The kitchen and the dining looks quite small to me. Apply a window at the other end of the living room for cross ventilation. Double the window at the visitors room (if it's a sliding window) or increase the size and get a three window panel for casement (this will at least increase ventilation). The master's bedroom should be situated at the approach view of the house (this will give him a view of his frontage and also see incoming friends and strangers too[security]). The wc between the visitors room should be for the visitors, so creat a wc/bath for the visitors room separately. More updates later.

Very insightful,thank you very much

1. Like someone already mentioned, the entrance door should be moved to the extreme right to make the living space more usable
2. The door to the mini flat is obstructing the living room space, it could be moved to the entrance porch
3. The kitchen and dining are too small.
4. The store is not easily accessible from the kitchen and it should be. If the kitchen is sized sufficiently, I would prefer accessibility through the lobby as well, so that whoever is going into the kitchen from the bedrooms doesn't have to go through the living room. If there are guests, it's not very desirable.
5. It is always preferable to have your kitchen open into a covered back porch instead of immediate steps. There, you can place your gas cylinder, your trash bin, keep your pan of over-bleached palm oil etc.
6. There's a lot of lobby space that is only directing traffic and not dispersing it. This is only useful for galleries where you plan to display art work. You can fit the toilet in the mini flat where the back entrance is, after extending it a bit, and use the other space for a kitchenette.
7. The toilet to the second bedroom only has space for a wc. You should at least be able to fit a shower tray.

Apart from that, I commend you on your project and wish you all the best.

Thanks a lot...I appreciate your comments

Thank you very much

My dear, where do I start from.?

Let me dwell on the majors:

1. Too many lobbys.
This signifies a poor articulation of design. Designers do this when they are boxed into corners and seek d easiest way out. Unnecessary Lobby are a waste of space and money. All those lobbys combined wld have given u one room or more.

2. The kitchen, dinning and toilet are a joke.
By this provided proportions, they are not habitable. Let Ur designer put furniture and sanitary wares in Ur spaces: u will see d wind blow on his fowl ass.

3.the exterior walls could be better aligned.
The arrangement could be better harnessed to look less unwieldy as presented here. This would make construction less cumbersome.

4. Based on this external wall arrangement, I would love to see how he handles d roof. If his thinking is d same, he would make a mess of D roof being u ecessarily cumbersome.

5. I love the fact that his living spaces are cross ventilated. Good.

6. the site plan would have thrown a lot more light on d general planning.

Last line: Ur designer could use up less space and save u less money In Satisfying d brief

Noted and thanks a lot

Too many lobbies leading to space wastage and cost accumulation, doors should be located at the extreme, dunno the scale of plan but by what am seeing, the dinning, kitchen and toilet is small

Ada, why not convert one of the lobbies to a visitor's rest room? from what I see, one only has access to the "WC"through the rooms which not ideal
otherwise everything is nice

when is the ground breaking though?
more grace!

I am taking the lobbies into consideration, i'm thinking its too much plus the size of the kitchen and dinning, i'm still entertaining more opinion as this needs to start off first week of December, thanks a lot

Irrespective of the sizes of the compartments, I think both the living room and dinning room are having insufficient ventilation. Cross ventilation is required..

RaggedyAnn:

Are you an architect?

Ask4Info:



Are you an architect?

no I am not

Sorry, I am getting this late. Anyways... firstly, did you follow the survey plan?
2. No grids,
3. There is waste of space.
4. Poor ventilation in the rooms...
5. No ante-room?
A lot of corrections are needed.

Tell your architect, this drawing needs drastic improvement.

I don't understand whats going on here

Must you comment?
Waka pass na

For efficient use of funds to achieve these goals,your architect needs to be more creative in his drawing...

Too many lobbies...
Kitchen and dinning too small...
No space at all for adequate ventillation...

Your architect needs more time to work on his drawing

Ok

For Current price of Stone coated and Alum.. See here >> https://www.nairaland.com/3364135/roofing-sheets-cost-various-types

.

what's the essence of the lounge that opens only to the living room?, to access the kitchen, you must be seen in the living room, small kitchen and dining rooms, one of the bedroom is only accessible from the Backdoor and i wonder if it's supposed to be the maids room or what?

The lobby that lead to master bedroom is to long you have to consider lightening in your design,and also the dinning and the kitchen are too small

Aint seeing the visitors w/c ....
Olden days concept

this plan is very good but with that shape, i begin to wonder what's the shape and size of the land.
