“Please take care that modern design practices and the latest materials are used in construction of the house, as I want it to be a showplace for the most up-to-date ideas and methods. Be alerted, however, that kitchen should be designed to accommodate, among other things, my 1952 Gibson refrigerator.”

They want “modern design practices and the latest materials” used in the house. So what’s wrong with the “1952 Gibson refrigerator” is that it’s NOT “modern” or “the latest”.

Basically complaint that the client is contradicting himself.

And oh, by the way, how is the viritual family reunion comming along?
