What makes this clock tick?
I'm a fan of awkward questions and a firm believer in 'putting the cards on the table' at the outset of a project.
The most proud introduction I have had from a past client, when suggesting myself to their friend, was that I "wouldn't do what they thought they wanted". Once my mind had confirmed that it wasn't an insult, I found it an immense compliment!
To be clear, it's not to say that I won't listen, only that after spending more time in other peoples houses than my own for the last 25 years you tend to see things differently.
The first scheme is always to draw out the ideas from a client (although don't worry if you are at a complete loss). This is however always coupled with a second and sometimes third scheme to sense check the thoughts and ensure that the revised space will actually get them what they need, not what they think they will need!
