These openings allow daylight to filter down the centre of the house, and for shadows to grow, contract, focus and blur, meaning that even the most inner spaces are animated by sun, clouds, and rain.

Dealing with the local governing code can get hairy, so one of the major benefits of hiring an architect is letting them coordinate and schedule design, engineering, and construction all at once. At their most basic function, structural engineers design the bones of a new building to resist forces caused by gravity and the elements.

However, designing an entire building is a huge task for a single person; architects work with civil and structural engineers to discuss technical issues and the structural integrity of a building.
