10 Questions – Lennart Magi

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Brendan

Mr. Lennart Magi

Below I have compiled a set of preliminary questions I would like you to answer in regard to the proposed project. In order to establish a general idea of you and your family’s needs, the answers to these questions will prove to be conducive during the beginning stages of the design process. Please take your time and give them some thought, answering them with completeness. This will be very a helpful first step in gaining an introductory glance to who you and your family are. The more I understand about you and your family’s specific needs and interests the better I will be in ultimately designing a unique living space catered to you and your family’s lifestyle.

Best,

-Brendan

Comments & Reminders – Please read

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Prof. Paul King

Please categorize all posts:

Please be sure to add categories for all of your posts. I created a category for each student – so always select yourself. This first series of posts should be categorized as “My Family”.

That would include the following:

Your original family board (should already be posted)
Your 10 questions to your client family (should already be posted)
The response to the questions (please post by tonight – Thursday 1/30)

Also – you can select the category for any student on the lower left side of the home page. You will see in brackets (2) the number of posts associated with you. If the count seems low – then check the “uncategorized” section and then add your category. I have corrected some of these myself.

Next Step:

Site visit for inventory and analysis
Development of program spaces (make a list and try to give an approximate room size of required square footage)
Development of program matrix (see handout under assignments)
Development of bubble diagram

Comments on Family Boards:

Take a look at the quality of our family boards and you will see a wide range of graphics. Please take the time to improve your boards and repost them. Make sure that you include the makeup of your family. [Winemaker, boxer, twin girls (4), etc.] All boards should be posted as images (jpg) so they show on the blog post without having to open another file.

Some of the better examples:

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Lennart Magi

Dear Nikitha,

My name is Lennart Magi and I will be your family’s architect. As you may know before starting with anything, I have few questions to ask and would like you to answer them. So based on your answers I have a direction to start the design of your new home.

1-What is your budget?

2-Where is the site?

3-Who is going to be occupying the house? (as in how many adults, kids, pets)

4-Does every occupant need their own room or can they share?

5-Does anybody have any special needs? (disabled, allergies, medical conditions that may conflict with going up the stairs)

6-What is your primary means or transportation? Is there public transportation near by?

7-How long are you planning on living in the house? And are you thinking of selling the home in few years?

8-Do you like to have extra bedrooms for visitors in your home?

9-Do you want your home to show character? (shapes, curves) Or do you want traditional home?

10-Is there anything special you want in your home that I didn’t ask? (custom furniture, backyard, pool)

Thank You.
