This month, the #ArchiTalks topic is “Back to School”, so I am encouraging my fellow small firm architects to go back to school themselves and learn what they need to know to find the work they want and live a life they’ll love. As small firm architects, how do we get noticed by those prospects? Back to School.

For me personally, juggling architecture school and getting through the Architect Registration Exam, while making a living has been my biggest hurdle in becoming an architect. During college I worked for a firm for only 6 months, before I threw up my hands and quit. In his world, I was just a cheap architecture student day laborer.

Being a successful architect takes more than creating a wonderful idea and presenting it to your client. The work involved in setting up your design firm can be overwhelming and 99% of it was never taught to you in school. I once had a phone call with an architecture student asking for advice.

It’s not only the story of my first project, but the complete story of how my wife and architect business partner Annmarie McCarthy and I started our own architecture firm. How I Started My Own Architecture Firm. I always knew I would someday have my own firm. The Large Corporate Firm.
Life of an Architect
SEPTEMBER 7, 2015
I can only remember a few brief periods where we all came together to get something completed in order to meet a promise we made to a client – but normally everybody can leave when they want. As a general rule, don’t work overtime in my office. When it’s late, sometimes I work at this teeny tiny desk.

I had many interesting conversations with architecture students while I was in Chicago. Others wanted to know about how to start their own firms. As individual small firm architects, we have more important tasks requiring our attention. We have businesses to build, clients to serve and families to feed.
