It’s completely normal for a design to be challenged, and honestly, no work is ever perfect. That’s just part of the process. I always try to listen with an open mind—understanding the client’s concerns and seeing if their feedback actually improves the design. If it makes sense, I adjust and refine. But if it takes the design in the wrong direction, I explain my reasoning clearly, using visuals and real-world examples to back it up.

Understanding the client's vision while standing firm on design principles is key. I focus on clear communication, explaining the 'why' behind my choices while staying open to refinements. It's about collaboration, not compromise

1. Active listening, showing empathy, and understanding the client's perspective and needs are the first steps in good design practice. 2. I understand the concerns raised and acknowledge the client’s perspective. 3. Every client belongs to a different demographic and cultural background, which may influence design preferences and approaches. Adapt the design accordingly. 4. I ensure that every design is thoughtfully crafted, considering industry expertise and best practices. 5. Without compromising the core of the design, incorporate small changes to meet the client's expectations while maintaining the integrity of the overall concept.

As architects, we always respect our clients' briefs and needs. This means we constantly face challenges by thinking like our clients, creating empathy with their perspectives. These challenges do not depend on nationality but rather on individual personalities. We are the heroes of their lives, building their dream spaces.

When global clients challenge my design concepts, I focus on listening to their feedback and understanding the cultural or functional reasons behind it. I engage in a collaborative dialogue, explaining the rationale behind my choices while remaining flexible in finding creative solutions. By balancing their input with the integrity of the design, I build trust and ensure the final outcome aligns with their vision and purpose
