About

Modern architecture has been around for a while now, and accounting for the "big" things in house design - warmth, light, air flow, structural stability, etc. - are now well known and should be part of any good architect's design.

However, once all of those important factors are accounted for in your house design, our attention is often drawn to the more trivial aspects of the house after we move in. Aspects that cause us annoyance and minor frustration. The counter-intuitive light switches in the laundry. The glare on the TV screen in the living room. The lack of lighting whilst preparing food in the kitchen.

Thoughtful Architect is a growing repository of those frustrating experiences; they are all the things you wished you thought about during the design phase but now it's too late to fix.

But for those who haven't started their house build yet, the information on this site hopefully prompts them - and their architect- to consider designing out those frustrations before the house is built 👌
