there are variable set limitations and requirements associated with designs and layouts. The
factors can be both problem solving and problem seeking. Every project is a unique combination
of designs and various factors can influence them which are as follows:
Program- As all clients have different limitation, and requirements, thus a structured
program allows to make effective implementation of the specific needs, suggestion of the client.
Client- If the client does not have proper designs, and objective for their dream house
then an architecture is needed to be hired and the architecture’s thinking, ideas, tastes must
match with the client in order to reach the final structure of the house (Al-Rubaiei, Nifa & Musa,
2018). Therefore, it influences the design of the house in a great way.
