When working with an architect to design a custom home, the second phase of the design process is called Schematic Design. This is when the building starts to take shape through a series of design exercises that test out the goals and requirements established during the pre-design programming phase.

From the outside, the elegant New York Home seems clean and modernist, with glazed walls that seem to nod to iconic 20th century buildings like the Farnsworth House. Yet the layout of Square House is completely new, designed purposefully without a front door, a detail that completely re-configures the hierarchy of the spaces.

It’s a pattern that has developed over the years since I have a kid and my wife and I have an arrangement where she drops my daughter off at school in the morning and I take care of the evening pickups. 6:45am I had to sketch out a quick graphic image for my annual “ What to Get an Architect for Christmas ” post.

They establish the discipline required for financial success and the freedom to develop a portfolio of highly developed architecture.

To procure architects for high profile public projects anonymously via independently juried design competitions was and is common practice in Germany and other parts of Europe.
