Also, for the north elevation. I had the old garage centred on the wall it butts up against, but he has offset it one foot, so that it is centred for the slightly narrower garage building at the opposite end (the centre section protrudes an extra 2' east). he says he did this to make flow through access easier but it looks wonky to me and i can't see one foot making any difference.

i think the architect just h8s symmetry

if he doesn't have technical reasons, what does he care what it looks like - he doesn't have to see it every day

if you want it symmetrical, just tell him you have OCD and he would sure not want to be responsible for the potential adverse health effects a non-symmetrical design could have, including but not limited to life-long therapy sessions, expensive medications, marriage reconciliation, and remidial aesthetic theory classes for your kids.....
