The Brief<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that you have appointed your Architect it is the time to tell him\/her everything you wish for your project. Don&#8217;t be afraid to sound silly. Your favourite colour (<a href=\"http:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/the-secret-guide-to-deal-with-architects-take-2\/\">read Take 2<\/a>) may now be relevant to the brief.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not sure about what you need let your Architect help you. Architects are used to deal with a wide range of age groups and lifestyles, you will never agree with this but many times they will know better what you need than yourself! (Just give them some time, enough talk and make sure they know what do you have for breakfast.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Take-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1967\" alt=\"Take 3\" src=\"http:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Take-3.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Take-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Take-3-300x132.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hot tip: Let your Architect know what materials you like and what style you prefer (contemporary, traditional, classic, etc).
