Thank you all

Kitchen and dining... Too far apart... Your be able to serve from the kitchen

Nice plan

The architect said its for privacy so that visitors in the dinning won't see the kitchen directly?

The only thing wrong with it in my layman's opinion is that it looks a little expensive to pull off.

You mean the cost of building it to completion?

More inputs needed guys

wasted spaces...lobby too big, the room and parlor self contain terrace too large.

wasted spaces...lobby too big, the room and parlor self contain terrace too large. the terrace near the kitchen can be converted to store while the store becomes the kitchen entrance

the terrace for the room and parlor can be added to the room to make it bigger and d entrance to the the side coz the large terrace is already competing with the entrance of the main building

No
There is something called flow chart in architecture. A door should link the dinning to kitchen.

If the terrace becomes the store and the store becomes the terrace, how would we access the kitchen then? Through the store?

a new door by the left hand side while the second door is removed. from there u can have a door at the right hand side to access the dinning

I will appreciate if you can screenshot the original plan and highlight those changes on it to be effected. Thanks

Hello architects, civil engrs, building engrs and all building professionals. Kindly take a look at this floor plan and drop your observations in form of what is missing in the plan and what ought to be added. How about the arrangements? What are your reservations? Pls criticize the plan with your reasons and make recommendations. Time is of essence here. Thank you all

Before critiquing this plan, a full brief is needed

But generally speaking, there’s a lot of waste spaces. Especially at the lobbies. This is too big for a 3-bedroom apartment which houses a maximum of 6 people. The masters bedroom lobby will also be dark. These wasted spaces can be shrinked without changing much of the plan itself.

From your design, a door could link the dining with the kitchen. It’s too long a journey to carry food from the kitchen to that dining. The dining will not be well lighted and ventilated because the recess is too deep.

There’s no exit in the kitchen. The exit should open to the terrace. I always prefer to have my store close to the exit so I don’t have to carry foodstuff round the whole kitchen first. That terrace sits too deep for my liking. It’s obvious standard sizes were not used during the sketch.

Generally not a bad design and will make a nice façade but it can be much better. Next time, show the plan in relation to the site as it is easy then to know if such plan fit basic town planning requirements, thermal comfort and general sustainability.

Thanks brother
