Washing machine and dryer is supposed to be in the laundry not kitchen in a luxury modern home.

It depends, European style in kitchen.. American style in laundry room.

It depends which school of thought you fancy..

Yes. He did the artwork in my house. He is hard working and honest. The job was also above and beyond. And this someone I only met here, never seen him in person.
Caveat
Do your due diligence as review of a vendor by a client does not mean guarantor.

GloriousGbola:
yes and no

most modern luxury apartments have them all in the kitchen

if you have a standalone luxury home with a lot of space, then yes, you may have a detached laundry. however if you have a luxury apartment, then these are typically in the kitchen.

I don’t know how people do it , with the smell of detergent while cooking.

This your roof ehen

Where solar panels will fit in like this?

Note: not cheap

If I tell you that I like that roof, I will be lying to you. It is one of those craps that happens when you are building in absentia. It was the only remedy for the penthouse design elevation. Anyway, the front of building has normal shape roof that can support solar panel installation.

See as you want confuse us now with grammar. Where do you have yours? Kitchen or in the laundry?

I initially wanted to put it in the kitchen, but since there is a spare bathroom kinda, I turned it into a laundry room.

I am more interested in the smell of detergent you talked about. What detergent do you use that smells this bad?

No matter the fragrance they come with, that detergent base can never be masked. These are some of my laundry supplies, the Tide Downy is even Rose scent, yet nothing beats fresh air.

I would rather perceive the aroma of my curry stew or goat meat pepper soup in my kitchen than detergent smell.

The updated approach now is to adopt the German design concept by introducing a TECHNICAL ROOM that accommodates the electrical distribution board, solar panels systems and batteries, washing machine, dryers etc.

Maybe your nose is too sensitive because I haven't noticed this annoying detergent smell while using a washing machine. Highest an hour of activity and mostly during offpeak periods _not a problem to me.

Sir, the idea of the technical room is excellent, it's even being incorporated into our designs these days, but I will suggest it's limited to electrical components.
Washing Machine, Dryer and all sorts should be in the laundry. (Note: access to a technical room supposed to be limited to only adults or technical personnel, whereas a child of 12 or a house maid may want to use the washing machine and dryer).

Only adults are meant to use the washing machine ie above 18, kids as young as 12 should not be allowed to use a washing machine

ASaba but do travel places for work,so location is not a barrier to me.

Dm me with ur art work

There is a reason for including vent in the architectural design of laundry rooms. They are aware of the need for quality air flow.
Also , there is a whole business model around this need . Technicians would come out to homes to make sure the vents are working and the air flow is good.

GloriousGbola:
Show the bathtub or shower stall and toilet n the bathrooms to be sure you have the space

Kitchen door should be large so no challenge bringing in a big fridge or freezer

Modern kitchens have washing machines

You need to show the fridge, freezer, washing machine, gas cooker dishwasher etal in the kitchen

Show proposed position of TVs

If this is a rich guy include a panic room

Which one be panic room?

Tidot:

FEGEITOK:
Maybe another issue is that he wants me to handover the full quotation |(architectural and non-architectural) for his QS to create a professional bill of quantity and I have not done so!

He has been asking for days and I have said the document is not ready

He may need the money

"The architect I engaged is effectively demanding access to the proposal I authored. Yesterday, he requested a copy, stating, 'I believe the document is 100% done, please send it to me so I can equally review.' I ignored this request. However, he followed up today with a more directive message: 'Please send me the final document you prepared [with] every detail that you submitted.'"

For those who may not understand this, let me explain what is going on. Additionally, since this thread has been helpful to me, I am sharing it to assist anyone else in a similar situation in the future.

We have not yet signed the MOU because I have promised him a forensic line-by-line breakdown analysis of his MOU.



I want to professionally, narrowly, and slowly reset boundaries, avoid hostility and any implied partnership of any kind, so I won't just say no, directly.

Scope Capture: He wants to see exactly what I promised the client so he can argue that his work covers those specific deliverables.

IP & Leverage: If he possesses the final proposal, he can claim that the concept was a joint effort, reinforcing his claim to "Partnership" status and the 35% (now reduced to 20%) fee.

1. What he is actually asking for (not what he says)

This is not a neutral professional request.

An architect engaged to do design, documentation, and supervision does not need:

(a) my commercial proposal,

(b) my client-facing narrative, or

(c) the full “every detail” submission

unless:

(a) he is a co-proposer, or

(b) he is trying to insert himself into the commercial/client relationship, or

(c) he wants materials he can later argue he “contributed to” or “relied upon.”

This is outside scope!

2. Legal Implications #1: Ownership and IP

I own:

(a)the client relationship

(b)the project

(c)all commercial documents

He only owns what he creates for me, and even that is assigned back to me.

By requesting my authored proposal, he is attempting to access IP that is not his and for which he has no contractual entitlement.

2. Legal Implications #2: Independent contractor boundary.

His wording — “equally review” — is dangerous.

That phrasing is consistent with:

(a) a joint author, or

(b) a co-lead, or

(b) a partner-level reviewer

It is inconsistent with:

An independent architect service provider.

Courts look at conduct, not just contracts.

Repeated insistence on “equal review” can later be cited to argue:

“In practice, we were acting as joint principals.”

Additionally, acting on that request lends credence to his "we are partners" narrative.

2. Legal Implications #3: Non-circumvention risk.

This is the most serious risk.

A full proposal:

(a) reveals my pricing logic

(b) reveals my value positioning

(c) reveals my client's expectations

(d) may contain contact pathways or cues

Once he has it, he could:

(a) “clarify” things directly with the client

(b) reuse language or structure in a parallel approach

(c) claim familiarity with the proposal to justify direct engagement

The non-circumvention clause protects me after breach, but prevention is better.

Conclusion

In litigation terms, this is probative behaviour.

He is not entitled to:

(a) my proposal

(b) my pitch document

(c) my commercial terms

(d) my client strategy

(e) my full submission package

Unless:

the document is expressly listed in Schedule A as something he must work on, or

I request his input on a defined excerpt.

This is getting more serious or rather getting out of hand! His persistent request cues that he's definitely trying to assert his position as your copartner.
