We met with our friendly architect S and her colleague K this morning. Spent an hour talking through our ideas for the project. We're asking them to provide us with a fee proposal by early next week, and a scope of the services they would provide.
I think they might have been a little bemused when, in response to their query about design theme, I suggested a mix of coastal, contemporary, Gaudi, plus more!
They later emailed to ask about toilet availability - always amuses me, whenever I've worked on a building project invariably the most amount of time is devoted to debating toilets. A fundamental human need remains a constant anchor around many other decisions.
S and K also quite appropriately sought to clarify the roles everyone was playing. I made it clear they would be engaged for the design and documentation. J and us would be the clients, and provide substantial input.
The rest of this week will be devoted to life other than cafes - our daughter is having open heart surgery today and will be hospital for the next week. We'll just try and do the minimum on the cafes to keep things moving along.
Postscript: Our timing was immaculate. Within 2 hours of my meeting with the architects our daughter was being prepped for surgery.
