'Six Thinking Hats' can help you to look at problems from different perspectives, but one at a time, to avoid confusion from too many angles crowding your thinking.

Yellow Hat

The Yellow Hat will help you to think positively. While you are 'wearing' this hat be optimistic, notice the benefits and the value in them.

Is it wheelchair accessible?

How does the house benefit people with diverse needs?

Will the house have high ceilings? How can you give your client the most for the money?

Green Hat

The Green Hat represents creativity. Develop creative solutions to any problem with this hat. This unconstrained mindset allows you to freely test out a variety of useful creativity tools, due to its low level of criticism.

Will the house have 1 floor, 2 floors or more? Will it have a basement?

How big will the bedrooms be? What different configurations can you use in your house to get a house of 3,000 square feet?

Will the house have an open floor plan or rooms?

Blue Hat

The Blue Hat thinking represents process control. When having trouble because ideas are needed, the Green Hat may come in handy since it is the one used for creativity. In case of emergencies and dealing with them, the Black Hat is required.

What are your client's must haves?

What is the goal of the project?

What feeling do you want your client to evoke when they entire your house?
