The Business of Architecture: Designing your own firm.

The dream of many ambitious designers and architects is to be their own boss. Have complete creative freedom, control the finances, and have a greater professional flexibility, work when they want where they want. But starting an architecture firm is very different from working in the profession. We sit down and talk with three local firm owners: Aaron Bass of Stance Architecture, Caroline Lobo of Suoll Architects, and Tommy Suchart and Patricia Chen of Chen+Suchart, about their journey to being firm owners.
