Compared with the full-family brief

Where the design stands

Alpine is a deliberately smaller retreat; these checks are against the full-family brief.

4 PASS · 5 FAIL
01   Room schedule reconciles to areaPASS
02   Bedrooms on one floor; two 13 x 15+; ensuiteFAIL
03   Living 240+; dining 150+; office 2 110+FAIL
04   Hall limits and circulation below 12%FAIL
05   Straight entry-to-rear axisFAIL
06   No wall/post within kitchen work zonePASS
07   Focus office separated; two exterior wallsFAIL
08   Skylights in roof planePASS
09   Specified ceiling envelopesPASS

Circulation: the denominator matters. A is 11.97% and B is 11.78% when measured against gross conditioned area. Against net room area they are 13.69% and 13.50%, so both FAIL a net-area interpretation of the 12% target. C is 12.11% gross and 13.76% net and FAILS either interpretation. No hall exceeds 120 sq ft.

What we would refine

Resolve the retreat details

The simplified mountain setting, snow, trees and stove are visualization choices. Next I would refine the entry storage, exterior terrain and window views; the stove location is a spatial proposal only.

More specific materials and joinery

The models still use simplified upholstery, art, vegetation and material textures. Hardware, trim, lighting and storage deserve another pass tied to the family's actual belongings and preferences.
