Question

Interior designer Krista receives a job to completely renovate the interiors of a series of shop spaces in a building that has just changed ownership. Krista notices some troubling issues with the arrangement of the HVAC system, but she ignores those and concentrates on the interior design because she is on a tight schedule and budget. She decides to focus mainly on cosmetic issues and doesn't bother with moving or taking down walls or other deeper changes. A space that was fitted out as a salon stays a salon, and a space fitted out with dressing rooms and mirrors as a retail clothing shop keeps its dressing rooms and mirrors. If the client has problems with Krista's work, what are the likely contributing factors?

1) Krista didn't bother to address the function of each shop space to make each one more versatile and useful for a variety of occupants.
2) Krista sees problems with the HVAC system and yet chooses to ignore these issues instead of informing the client and trying to fix them.
3) Krista basically just does what an interior decorator would do in this situation without addressing deeper design issues.
4) Krista only appears to be concerned with keeping within her allotted schedule and budget and not going beyond that.
