Unit 3 3.1.2 Needs and worries Client’s needs Architect’s worries We’d like an office integrated in the main living area.

We’d like a cellar for technical equipment and storage facilities.

A cellar makes the building very expensive. Is the site big enough to offer the necessary space on the ground floor?

We’ll need four bedrooms on the first floor.

Should all bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom?

There has to be a terrace for dining in the summer.

Does the kitchen have to be linked to the terrace?

We’ll be needing a guest bedroom. Would it be possible to locate the guest bedroom on the ground floor?

I’d like loft space for storage. A loft assumes a gable roof. Could storage space be located somewhere else? Could the roof also have a different shape?
