Here I was working on an incredibly diverse team, with designers from around the world, and a wide range of project types. Most of our work revolved around entering design competitions. After about two years at the firm (and three years abroad) I decided to return to school to get my Master’s of Architecture degree. .

They’ve never experienced a design process or any type of major construction. They think they know what they want, how much it will cost and how long it will take to design and build it. Then we get started and prepare our designs. They start with half the budget they need for the project they have in mind.

When we present our initial schematic designs to our client, we are selling. Since that time, we’ve developed a system that works.

Developed specifically for use in custom residential design, they can assist the architect in educating the client and setting expectations about the construction process.

Systems are the sound structure of a successful architectural firm. They establish the discipline required for financial success and the freedom to develop a portfolio of highly developed architecture. Every firm, with any experience, has many of these processes already in place. Systems allow us to be better architects.

Life of an Architect

NOVEMBER 30, 2014

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. This was the project that I used when talking about sketching during schematic design.
