Questions for a Design Brief

While I had written about our wish list previously, I think it's insulting to share our plans with the architect and distort his/her view of what we want. I have instead now opted to write a design brief in parts - responding to the questions below:

DESIGN

What kind of ideas do you have about design and / or materials? 
Do you have any images from magazines/internet that show us a style that you like? 
Are there any particular design features that are important to you? 
What kind of style do you require for the project e.g.. contemporary, traditional, industrial, bold, elegant, minimal etc. 
Do you have any specific materials or surfaces in mind that you would like to see included in the project? 
Do you have specific time requirements for the project to be complete? 

OCCUPANCY

Do you have any specific accessibility requirements, for example is anyone in your family disabled or do you have any regular visitors that would have special needs? 
How much time and energy would you be willing to invest to maintain your home? 
How many people will be living in the new home? 
Describe your lifestyle and the kind of spaces that you need? For example, work from home, entertain often, etc How much time do you spend in the different areas of your home (indoors and outdoors)? 

USAGE

What type of entertainment systems do you require? 
Music, TV, projectors, speakers throughout the house? 
What type of storage do you require? 
Specific hobbies that require lots of storage space? Large wardrobe space? Number of floors / rooms / spaces and use for each? 
Are there any particular areas that are to be more private that others? 
Or particular rooms that you would like to be connected? 
Do you have any preferred room layouts/relationships or orientations – a south facing kitchen for example
Do you have any specific considerations toward sustainability and energy efficiency – is there a particular system you would like to use: i.e., solar panels etc.
