The architect deals with shapes and spaces. The contractor deals with construction. Is the argument about appearance or a technical issue? To pay a specialist and then throw out their recommendations at the suggestion of a non specialist seems a waist of money.

and a waste

agreed

personal preferences aside - a flat ceiling is easier to construct .... a coffered ceiling has more interest

'with' personal preference: If it were mine, I would decide on what I like most and get that built....for this reason - it is ME who has to live in the space every day - and my enjoyment of that space would be maintained best by whatever held the most visual appeal to me. I love coffered ceilings and the interesting lines of converted attic spaces.
