In the rental apartment I would try to avoid locating the bedroom and bathroom doors off of the kitchen. If the plumbing is not restricted to where it is shown, consider putting the new tenant bathroom in the right side of the "Other Room" and opening the kitchen up to the living space by moving the refrigerator to the outside wall and removing the wall between the kitchen and the living room creating a peninsula counter and better access to the bedroom. A better proportioned bedroom with adequate closet space could be created from the old one and the remaining portion of the Other Room. That should create a much better apartment for minimal additional cost.

As for providing an architect with a concept drawing, in my experience initial concept design is what architects do best and it is therefore wise to begin the design process with a collaborative discussion rather than reviewing your concept design; its a distraction to a professional design process.

The architect's first task after an initial discussion of your programatic needs and wants will be to measure and draw the existing conditions as accurately as possible; inches count in a renovation. Then he/she would probably present you with 2 or 3 alternative schemes that would be discussed and modified in an extensive collaborative design meeting meeting in the space until one or two good schemes are found to be worthy of drawing accurately.

Thanks for your input.

I should clarify. My software didn't let me label the rooms as I wanted. There is no "other room". This is actually a garage that past tenants have converted to illegal extra living space. We will need to revert to the legally required garage with this project. So the rental unit is really just a studio and bathroom will have to be off the living/sleeping room or off the kitchen. We could probably reconfigure it though so it is off the living/sleeping room instead of off the kitchen. Both are bad, I can't decide which is worse.

If we make the kitchen open to the main room in the studio, we can't have the access door to the garage anymore (sleeping can't link to garage). This might be a worthwhile compromise since an open kitchen might be nicer. Not sure though as the garage also gives access to a side garden and garbage.
