I strongly second One Plan's idea about looking for another architect. If this one is not motivated, all the fame in the world is not going to help. An alternative approach to finding an architect is to find some good contractors who have built things you like. Ask them for architects' names. Make sure they work in your price range. In the meantime, you can find out from your local building department what the set back and height restrictions are. Are you required to build parking areas or garage space, what kind of airspace restrictions do you have for neighbors' views and sunlight, that kind of thing. Often this stuff is on city websites or handouts at the office.

Studio Chippan has given good vastu based suggestions in the absence of directions. The guidance for the window seat is also sound. Alternatively a high window seat can be made with provision for storage beneath. The bed can be placed on the long wall (16’) in the centre or slightly on one of the sides so a sofa or a worktop can also be placed as required. If the bed is placed further from the door, a TV can be comfortably placed on the the opposite wall (outside the bathroom).

Hi Palak, -first thing you can do to is use white color as much as possible along with some pastel and neutral color. -second utilize the space efficiently by creating multi functional furniture. Vertical surfaces, walls are very good way to provide additional storage for the same when you have less floor area. Sharing few images below- more white with balanced color palette, don't use dark colors. Workstation/study merges with wardrobe, full height storage units, lots of shelves on tv wall provide ample space for storage and display.

Hello Houzzers! After a hectic day's job, we all need (and crave) to have a good night's sleep... don't we? The designer/architect must have helped you in setting up the layout, the wall colours, temperature control etc. for a comfortable experience. But what extra do you do to create your own personal bedroom retreat that makes you feel cosy and calm? I cannot go to sleep in a cluttered bedroom. I choose cleanliness over everything. What do you do? Do you use diffusers for fragrance? Do you opt for comfy linen? Or do you play slow music to bed? Vote for your top hack and share details in the comments section to help other Houzzers! Thanks!
