- Clients often have preconceived notions about their design
choices, and it's important to offer professional advice while also
respecting their desires.
- When designing a multifunctional space, it's crucial to explore
all possible options and weigh the pros and cons to find the best
fit for the client's needs.
- Incorporating resale value considerations into major structural
changes can be beneficial, especially if the client plans to move
within the next 10-15 years.
