In February 2012, we scheduled our first design meeting with our architect, Ryan. We were really excited. In preparation, we completed the Elemental Design Questionnaire, looked through piles of magazines, and reviewed a lot architecture websites. Looking at the websites was really helpful and allowed us to see a ton of homes. We also used Houzz to store images that we could in turn share with Ryan. The Houzz website is a bit clunky, but somewhat effective.
We sent all the information to Ryan prior to the meeting. Gathering all that info was a serious process! While there was no way to completely express what we were looking for, we felt confident we provided Ryan with enough information to get the conversation and creativity flowing. We assured Ryan ahead of time that we did not expect or want him to have a design concept prepared for our first meeting.
Overall, the meeting went very well. Ryan was able to process a lot of information and see a number of themes from the images we showed him. Also, he seemed genuinely excited about the project. Yay!
