Sit in on a creative business consultation as I work through Page's ideas for her new architecture practice and watch as we turn her aspirational concepts into reality. I walk her through the basic calculations every new business owner must know, we talk options and opportunities, clients, fees, and how to position her business in the middle of the value exchange.

This is a typical conversation I have with design professionals of every skill level each Friday. These are students enrolled in my Architect + Entrepreneur Course and range from new graduates and young professionals just starting out, to established architects all seeking to design a business for the new economy and feed their creative intellect. Our conversation brought up many of the issues we face as design professionals in daily practice; topics they don't teach in school.

A Day in the Life of an Architect: Construction Site Visit

Join me for a construction site visit as the Island Outpost project [...]

Join me for a construction site visit as the Island Outpost project enters rough framing, the point where the initial sketch of an idea is finally rendered in physical form. For an architect, it's probably the most exciting phase and it's taken us many months to get here. Site and foundation work are time consuming and embody a lot of effort, but progress is often slow and much of the work is hidden in the finished project. By contrast, framing moves quickly and there's much to coordinate between the trades: plumbers, electricians and mechanical subs.

**Want to see the floor plans? http://thirtybyforty.com/outpost

The culture of HGTV has tricked us all into believing that construction happens in the space of a 30-minute show segment. But custom design + construction takes time to complete. And, custom construction on an island takes much longer (I'm learning). That's because building on an island is subject to an entirely different set of rules. All things being equal, given the choice between plentiful, profitable work on the mainland and work on an island, most contractors have been choosing the work that's easier to access and execute. That's not something I had fully anticipated at the outset of construction and it's proving a difficult problem to solve. The building boom here in Maine has caused a significant labor shortage and that's hindered our ability to secure subcontractors willing to make the journey out to our remote site.
There are no hardware stores, or places to run to if you need an extra bag of concrete. Everything we build with comes from off-island and thus, bringing the necessary materials to the island requires a special weather window and, if it's a load delivered by barge, the right set of tides to land and leave the beach. Winter wind and heavy seas have conspired against us more than a few times too.
The work continues though and I'm thankful for the dedicated crew acting as my hands in the field to realize these ideas in spite of the wind and weather. So too, for generous, supportive clients - dear friends by now - who patiently watch as their home takes shape. To navigate these opposing forces and turn them to your advantage takes skill, hard work and the work of many. And, perhaps that's the reason the creative satisfaction in the end is so great.
My sincere thanks for watching and following along. It really is as much fun as it looks!

How I Sketch + Design Architectural Details

Sketch with me in this video as I design custom details for a [...]

Sketch with me in this video as I design custom details for a residential project. Inventing bespoke solutions to design challenges is the reason I love designing homes. Often, if I'm stuck on a design brief, I’ll zoom in and begin sketching a detail. There’s something about the scale and how manageable it is to solve simple problems that helps me move forward.

For me, this process always starts in my sketchbook (or on the iPad) and then I’ll move to the computer to draw it more precisely following that. Starting informally with a sketch allows me to be free and fast with ideas and it leads me to other threads I hadn't anticipated. You'll see this in the video as I chase down a few absurd ideas.

The process begins with a design brief: in this case the hanging coats at the entry wall and adding a flip-down desk near the pantry area. I then compile inspiration imagery (like the military field desks) and grab a ruler to have on hand as I'm designing. Relating to the human scale is an important part of detailing and a ruler helps you set proper proportions for drawers, desk height, etc.

A trick I use as I'm drawing is to really think hard about the daily patterns of life around the subject I'm designing. How would someone use this space? What would they have in their pockets, what would their daily routine moving through or around this space be like? Placing yourself there and asking what would make this experience better, or more "delightful" leads to novel insights. Delightful is kind of a corny word but it’s the best descriptor I can think of. It's the thing that makes you smile when you see it, and say, “Wow, they really thought this through! They really considered what it means to live here, in this place.”

The point of sketching is to chase down all the bad ideas, all the strange threads of thinking, including the absurd. Be open to thinking differently and the invented solutions may surprise you. It's important to not to put too much pressure on it, these aren’t beautiful drawings, they’re process, they show the steps from one idea to the next.

The sketchbook I'm using in the video is a new custom project called TRACE.

Set for release in May of 2021, learn more here: https://thirtybyforty.com/trace-sketchbook

If you made it to the end and you're reading this, this is a personal thank you for your support. I don't have a big team that helps me film, edit or post these videos, it's just me so the feedback and support from people like you is invaluable and never taken for granted.

What's in my set of architectural documents? Sharing everything: drawings, schedules, + specs.

Drawings, schedules, specs.; I'm sharing all the deliverables I create [...]

Drawings, schedules, specs.; I'm sharing all the deliverables I create for a typical custom residential project in the studio. Constructing a home involves thousands of decisions and the architectural design process is designed to document and catalog those decisions and convey that information to the entire project team: clients, contractors, consultants; anyone responsible for helping us construct our architecture.
Even for a small home, the number of decisions - from foundation to finish - can feel overwhelming. The more you draw + document before construction, the more control you'll have over the finished product. Anything you don't draw or document is simply a decision you're choosing to defer to someone else to make.
The drawings shown here are an in-progress set of documents, I still have stair plans, a finish schedule and interior details to complete. Typically, I'll release two packages of information: a shell package for the exterior shell of the structure and an interiors package. The first helps construction to proceed quickly and once under way, I'll develop the interior design, finishes and details with the client completing those during the early phases of construction. Also not shown are my consultant's drawings, which - for this project - consists of a set of structural engineering drawings.

Drawings, Site Visits + Construction on a remote island | Outpost - Part 9

Foundation + site work has begun on the island Outpost project and [...]

Foundation + site work has begun on the island Outpost project and we're faced with an important decision. See the drawings I prepare for this stage of construction, the design considerations for the foundation strategy and walk the site as I review progress.

Our initial foundation strategy to use posts + piers was thwarted by higher than expected bedrock (ledge) elevations. You'll see what the changes we made and all steps we took to design a sensible alternative. Architectural drawings order and organize information and ensure our design decisions are enacted in the field, but they're also not fixed instruments, inevitably the construction offer unexpected obstacles and the purpose of conducting site visits is to solve these in real-time. The drawings must also take into account the sequence and order of operations on a construction site, it's quite possible to draw something that can't actually be built. See how I build my architectural drawing sets with this in mind.

There's nothing more rewarding as an architect than seeing your ideas realized in physical form. It's a complete thrill for me each and every time. I'm honored to have such an incredible team of collaborators that make this possible. Without generous clients (and their willingness to share the process so openly) and skilled craftspeople to assemble the parts none of this is possible. So too, the privilege to bring you along for the journey. Thanks for watching + supporting my work, I appreciate you all!
