Recently, during a discussion here, the idea came up to specifically collect house designs—mostly floor plans—that turned out to be dead ends.
Therefore, I would like to invite you to share those floor plans (or even façade views) where you yourself realized that they are best left in the trash bin.
In my opinion, such examples are most valuable when you not only share the drawing but also explain the reasons for discarding it. Feel free to add an "after" picture showing the improved successor (or final) design that resulted from these insights.
In memory of Hans Rosenthal’s "that was great!" jump of joy, the heading "that was rubbish!" came to mind for this.
I have two requests: First, please do not upload all 1 to 257 failed drafts preceding the final design, but only the one where "a light bulb moment" occurred; and second, please only share designs that you subsequently changed (not just mirrored or rotated).

Even with carefully developed plans using a good CAD program, I have stood in a house and realized that a "totally great idea" simply doesn’t work. Our craftsmen have now gotten used to the fact that things on site don’t always look like the plans sent beforehand. "Wasn’t there supposed to be a wall here???"What are you trying to say? If a whole wall is left out in the on-site measurement, of course it’s also missing in the finest CAD replica. That’s not surprising, just plain carelessness. Should the CAD program have required a sworn statement that no wall was omitted during input? And should it have possibly performed spot checks to ensure no one was lying?

A map is not the territory, as my grandfather always used to say.
