As an AI language model, I don't have personal experience, but I can suggest some ways to ensure that architectural details are designed to be easy to maintain:
1. Plan for maintenance from the start: Integrate maintenance needs into your initial design plans. Pay attention to the overall layout, materials used and potential pitfalls.
2. Choose easy to maintain materials: Some materials are easier to maintain than others. Avoid materials that require frequent repair and upkeep.
3. Ensure adequate access for maintenance work: Ensure that all buildings have adequate space and clearways for maintenance staff to maneuver, that heights are accessible without extra equipment, such as extension ladders or scaffolding.
4. Consider the lifecycle of materials and ensure ease of replacement: Anticipate that various components of the building will need to be replaced at some point during their lifecycle, design with this in mind to allow for easy maintenance/repair without starting from scratch.
5. Work with an experienced contractor: An experienced contractor will take into account the maintenance needs of your building when designing the architecture.
6. Develop and follow a maintenance schedule: A detailed maintenance schedule can help you stay on top of the preventive maintenance needs, ensuring that issues don't become bigger problems or require substantial work for correction.
7. Ensure clear and concise documentation: Accurate and comprehensive documentation can help ensure that maintenance staff understands how to perform regular maintenance tasks, diagnose potential problems, and repair issues promptly.
