He really has done a good job conserving the space especially giving his positioning of rooms. Do you have any future plans to raise if so some allowance for this might come into plan.

It really is so busy and I would suggest that it has some symmetry. Need to keep it simple.

Do you really need 3 toilets in 2 beds. You can have a master ensuite and then have the second double as a visitor toilet. If it’s not a high rent area then it really is a waste of resources.

Your plumbing cost will be astronomical due to layout and no of them.

2 of the kitchens are backing off one another and in an enclosure too not ideal and intrusive. Increases opportunity for theft.

Generally it just does not work for me he really can do better.
I agree with you, the architect shld redesign

No Sir that is not the point. U need a smaller size of granite if u are casting something like lintel and column in order for the output of the finished concrete surface to come out fine. While u need a bigger size of granite for casting of oversight concretes, (German floor) retaining walls, concrete slabs in order to give u more strength .
read cearfully pls, am talking about (blinding) pls

Thanks for your response, there is no plan to raise the building in the future.

By symmetry, do you mean all 4 units should have the same location of rooms? Currently, the middle units are the same, while the extreme units are also same. My understanding of symmetry means all 4 units will be the same, please correct me if I'm getting this wrong.

I'll consult an agent managing buildings in the area to seek his opinion. I admit I never considered the plumbing cost earlier.

EDIT: I asked him already and it's an high rent area due to atleast 18hrs power supply. It might be worth it on the long run.

Will this problem be solved if all four units are same in structure? I just though having two entrances into the building is alright. That is, the main door and the kitchen's back door.

i think so too, but looking to read more opinions on the selection criteria for the various granite sizes.

I do have to say the more I looked at it the more I warm up to it.

Yes you are correct re symmetry ie all four similar room position also you have to bear in mind your likely tenant type balancing some marital privacy against being close enough to the children. It’s necessary to have 2 entrances re kitchen just that you need to balance with safety concerns and creating an ambience that makes your investment a desirable hence very little voids.
