Architect Dave Pollard started LivCo in 2012 to provide quality design to suburban homeowners, but with some twists to the traditional architectural services model. Following on the heels of his graduate thesis work stating “to make architecture more accessible, it’s time we stop trying to re-design the building systems, and architects lead the charge in re-thinking the design systems.” This evolved into his design-build model which allows simplified deliverables and a fully integrated and accountable team to deliver “the project”. LivCo has won numerous awards including fourteen Chicago Remodeling Excellence Awards, four regional remodeling excellence awards, Home of the Year Award, Contractor of the Year Award, five consecutive years Houzz Best in Service, Remodeling Big50, and in 2018, Dave was on ProRemodelers 40 under 40 list. In today's episode, Dave takes us behind the scene of his design-build business model.

Architect Zach Soflin was frustrated with the tedium of keeping track of as-built measurements, existing conditions, and job site photographs. He knew there had to be a better way to leverage today's powerful software tools and technology and streamline the connection of real world and computer data. Because of that, Zach created Layer, a software tool that makes it easy to link data such as descriptions and photographs to digital building model. After a decade practicing as an architect and leading computational design initiatives, he created the software application Layer to change how architects leverage building data for better efficiency, transparency, and profitability.

Today's guests are famed architect Lorcan O'Herlihy and renowend LA developer Richard Loring. Richard Loring is the Director of Design + Construction for Domos. He's an award-winning developer with a long-standing history of working with many of the most forward-thinking architecture firms. After receiving his masters in the History of English Architecture at Cambridge University, Loring founded Archetype, a general contracting company, where he built many noteworthy contemporary buildings for 26 years. Loring then served as Managing Director for Habitat Group Los Angeles, developing contemporary multifamily projects throughout the city. Many of Loring’s Habitat Group projects won AIA awards at the local, state and national level in addition to garnering coverage in leading architecture and design publications such as The New York Times, Dwell and Architectural Record. Today, Loring is leading the latest Los Angeles Domos project in Hancock Park. In partnership with Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects, Domos plans to reconfigure the property to bring the building up to current city codes and invigorate the living spaces, while preserving the building’s classic exterior. These plans include the addition of at least three new floors to the building, including co-living suites. Lorcan O'Herlihy FAIA is the founder and principal of LOHA (Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects) which seeks opportunities to engage the ever-changing complexities of the urban landscape while embracing architecture as a catalyst of change. Since its inception in 1994, LOHA's urban and social concerns have been paired with an interest in artistry. Lorcan spent his formative years working in New York and Paris on the Grand Louvre Museum as a designer at I.M. Pei Partners. Lorcan has also worked as a painter, sculptor, and furniture maker. The methodologies of material exploration and formal inflection, derived from the looseness of abstract art have played a significant role across all media and are a critical driver of his architecture. Lorcan’s professional practice has been accompanied by his academic and intellectual pursuits. He received a Master of Arts in History and Critical Thinking from the Architectural Association in London, writing a dissertation on social connectivity and generative urban strategies. He has taught and lectured extensively over the last decade, including at the Architectural Association in London, Southern California Institute of Architecture [SCI-Arc], Cranbrook Academy of Art, Columbia University, Carnegie Mellon University, Pratt Institute, and the National Building Museum in Washington D.C. He is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Southern California. In 2004 the Architectural League of New York selected Lorcan O'Herlihy as one of the eight “emerging voices” in the United States. In 2009, Lorcan was elevated to the prestigious College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects, an honor awarded to members who have made significant contributions to the profession. Lorcan’s commitment to design excellence in commercial, educational and residential projects has earned over 90 national and local design awards, including the AIA CC Distinguished Practice Award, AIA Los Angeles Firm of the Year Award, and in 2018 LOHA was awarded the status of #1 Design Firm in the US according to Architect Magazine's Architect 50.

Matthew Gullo is a native Houstonian and graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in architecture. After 14 years into an architecture career as a licensed architect he found himself as a principal of a multi-office Texas based firm with a need for a change. In 2013, after being married for almost two years to his supportive and beautiful wife, his back felt like it was against the wall career wise. The market was on an uphill climb but the Houston office, of the firm he was with, was experiencing some light work loads. With the mood in the office waning, a strong desire to see what he could do on his own, and a lot of deep questions on his mind he started writing and publishing his thoughts on a blog called Smart Simple Life. He was exploring ideas, coaching, self development, business acumen, and alternatives to the traditional architecture career. To put it bluntly, Matthew was motivated to make a bigger change than just going to another firm and did not want to be dependent on someone else to bring work into office. In December of 2013, he put in his notice to leave his principal position after having lunch with his great friend, Chris Grizzaffi, that was at the time and still is a part of Keller Williams. They talked about how the Smart Simple Life blog and how a lot of the things he was writing about paralleled Keller Williams teachings and philosophies. With a cheat sheet to getting a real estate license that Chris gave him, Matthew devised a plan to become a licensed Real Estate agent in 14 days. Over the next 10 days he got up super early before work to study and complete all of the required courses, took a 2 day prep class, scheduled a test and passed. The last few days of 2013, Matthew signed up with KW and took their extensive training called Ignite during the first week in January. With that training, the great people in my office, his coach Sheri Malone, Chris, the support of his wife and family he was able to sell 20 properties that first year for almost $4M in volume and was named the rising star in real estate. In 2016 his wife was able to quit her job and began helping Matthew part-time. They also hired someone to help show properties so he could focus on growing the company. Today, The Gullo Group is in the top 1% of Realtors in Houston, they have a full time operations manager, an agent that focuses on buyers, a marketing department, and several partners that help them get it all done.

Today is the second half of my interview with former HOK CEO Patrick MacLeamy. In this episode of the Business of Architecture podcast, you'll discover how to lead through crises and challenges, as well as the essential building blocks for a long-lived company culture. MacLeamy spent 50 years at HOK, which grew into one of the largest architecture and engineering firms in the world during his time there. MacLeamy rose from Junior Designer to CEO of HOK and witnessed the firm’s growth from a single midwestern office to 27 locations across the globe offering architecture, interiors, engineering, planning and more. MacLeamy joined HOK St. Louis in 1967, after which he helped establish the firm’s San Francisco outpost in 1970 - later becoming managing principal of that office. He joined HOK’s executive committee in 1995 and was named COO five years later. In 2003, HOK shareholders elected MacLeamy Chief Executive Officer. He led the firm for 13 years. In 2016, MacLeamy chose a new CEO for HOK, remaining as Chairman for one more year before retiring —or as he likes to say, “repurposing.” In this episode of Business of Architecture, MacLeamy shares hard-learned business lessons from his time at HOK and the principles that led this company to be the success that it is today.

Today we have the privilege of hearing from one of the icons of architecture - the man who co-founded one of the largest architecture firms in the world, Kohn Pedersen Fox or KPF.
Now In its 46th year, KPF spans the world with offices in 8 countries and with projects in more than 40. KPF founder Gene Kohn has, with his two partners, built an architecture business that flourishes because when it comes to good business he practices what he preaches.
Gene just released a book chronicling the challenges and successes of building this incredibly successful firm: The World by Design: The Story of a Global Architecture Firm.
What are his secrets for success?
On this episode you'll discover that KPF is set up and operates as the antithesis of the starchitect syndrome, the firm is not built around the personality or designs of an individual.
From the outset KPF was designed as a firm that would carry on after Gene and the other founders retired or passed away. This strategy different from many other prominent firms where the reputation of individual designers emphasized. Instead, KPF developed and lives by a culture of teamwork, rather than one of star designers.
Gene believes in discovering the most talented recent graduates, training them in all aspects of the profession and then elevating them to leadership positions. This approach has worked and KPF now has 31 principals – and a president - who rose from the ranks. Today KPF employs more than 650 people with offices in New York, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Seoul, Abu Dhabi and Singapore
The KPF team has been hugely successful with major buildings all over the world. Of the world’s 12 tallest buildings, 6 of them were designed by KPF – the Ping An Finance Center in Shenzhen, the Lotte World Tower in Seoul, the CTF Finance Center in Guangzhou, the CITIC Tower (also known as China Zun) in Beijing and the Shanghai World Financial Center. These bona fides in global markets have positioned KPF to be named the architects for one of its newest projects One Vanderbilt, the 1401-foot-high-tower across Vanderbilt Avenue from Grand Central terminal that, with its observation deck and office floors, will make it higher than the neighboring Empire State building.
Gene turned what was initially a NY-based firm into a global powerhouse. This expansion strategy has allowed the firm to ride out major recessions in the U.S. by doing work abroad. It has also given the firm the chance to develop expertise in designing large complicated projects – first in Asia and now in the U.S. For example, the firm designed the JR Central Towers atop an active rail yard in Nagoya, Japan in the 1990’s, and then used that experience to work on Hudson Yards in NY.
Now you man be wondering - what does the story of one of the worlds largest firm's have to do with my success as a practitioner in a small firm?
Listen closely, because the strategies that Eugene Kohn used to grow his practice are the same you can use in your firm to build a firm to suit your life.
Many architects think of business as a dirty word. Gene however has emphasized the need for architects to solve their clients’ problems on time and on budget, without compromising design integrity.
He and his partners have made a practice of developing strong connections between the architectural profession and the business world.

If you listened to episode 201 that I did back in 2018, you'll remember I spoke with Alex Gore and Lance Cayko, founders of the architecture firm F9 Productions, about a multi-unit, mixed use project they were planning on developing. Well, they recently sold the last unit on that project and they reached out to me so they could share the update on how the project turned out. In today's episode, I include the original audio from the interview in 2018 so you can hear the before and after of how they expected the project to go, and how it really went. Alex and Lance are also the hosts of the popular Inside the Firm podcast where they reveal the behind the scenes how they started and operate their architecture firm.

Have you ever been frustrated that you saw potential in a project but were constrained by your client? What if you could fire the client and be your own client? Today's guest has done just that. Joining us is architect Cady Chintis, co-founder of WC Studio based out of Tacoma, Washington. Just out of school Cady and her partner John Wolters bought a building in Chicago that they rehabbed and sold at a profit. They used the proceeds from that sale to start up a practice in Tacoma and launch more development projects. In this episode you'll hear how Cady and her partner pulled this off. Cady also talks about the "missing middle" multi-family project type, and the potential these kinds of projects have fill a gap in our urban stock.

Today's guest has a remarkable story. He grew up with a father who ran a successful and well-known architecture firm in St. Louis Missouri. Following in his father's footsteps, he went to Cornell University to study architecture. That's where we actually met, back in our college days. Today's guest is Thomas Wall, an owner of Mitchell Wall Architecture and Design based in St. Louis, Mo. The firm's work has been awarded numerous awards, and in 2017 Tom was listed as one of St. Louis's 5 under 40. Tom is the kind of guy that always has a smile for you. From what I knew of Tom at school, he 'gets' people, and he's used this successfully grow the firm. What you'd never guess unless you know Tom personally, is that his father passed away unexpectedly while he was in school. In today's episode, you'll hear how Tom bounced back from those dark days and found his place in architecture. You'll be moved, touched and inspired.

Let's face it - right now we're facing some unprecedented circumstances. Schools are shutting down, gatherings are cancelled - there's no question that this will have a real economic impact for many of us. So what should we do? How will this impact architects and the architecture industry? With all that's going on, it's far too easy to slip into worry, anxiety and fear. I'm struggling with this myself. We moved into a new house last year and with six kids, a business and team members, I have some decent monthly expenses. It's too easy to worry about what might happen - this does no good at all. When we're fearful, that's when we retreat and stop taking positive actions. What I'd remind you today is that it isn't the circumstances or the challenges that define us - it's how we respond to these challenges. Let me repeat that: it isn't the circumstances or the challenges that define us - it's how we respond to these challenges. No one individual has control over what is happening right now. The only thing within our control is how we respond. Are you with me? So, how do we respond? How do we move ahead with the best foot forward? How do we make sure that the best version of "US" continues to show up every day? Today I want to give you 5 strategies for moving ahead with power and faith.
You got this. You've been through challenges before and you'll make it through this one stronger than ever before. A last tip is to look at alternate ways of packaging your services as an architect. There are some very cool things you can do to deal with times like this and still stay profitable and moving ahead. This Friday, March 20th, Rion Willard and I are hosting a webinar around COVID-19, what it means for architects, and how to thrive (not just survive) in a possible down market. I'm not saying a down market will happen - and I hope it doesn't but we all know these cycles come and go - the best time to get prepared is yesterday and the second best time to be prepared is today!

This week you'll hear as Rion Willard, director of our London-based office, responds to a recent micro poll, which he conducted on social media that asked architects what they thought the biggest challenge facing the industry is. The results came in showing that the ‘Low fees’ were considered the biggest challenge followed by climate change, with many commenting that our ability to influence climate change is related to our ability to produce revenue. Do you agree? Do architects actually have low fees? and if so why? What are the reasons behind low fees across the profession? What do you think the practices who command high fees do differently? (You'll hear some specific case studies of practices who are crushing it). The posts and polls were viewed by over 6000 people and many of you responded and gave your insights. This podcast is a curation of some of those comments and ideas from architects, marketers, property experts, business owners, media institutions, students and industry thought leaders Rion's own commentary and thoughts on the subject. At the Business of Architecture, our mission is to help architects command the fees they deserve and our ongoing industry research helps us refine and develop our tools, strategies and consulting. So I want to thank you for your ongoing contribution and encourage everyone to view this as conversation that is important for us all to participate in.

Today you'll hear the remarkable story of a relatively new firm that has exploded from 2 people to over 20 people in short order. Right off the bat, they started with a $500M 800 room hotel and convention center in Ft. Lauderdale, with no staff. They had to grow quickly, but they had to do it the RIGHT way. Nunzio Marc Desantis Architects is a firm that focuses exclusively on hotel and resort design. When I say design, I mean design - they team up with production focused firms to complete the project so they can do what they do best - design the best experience and oversee the process. This episode is a crash-course in growing a wildly successful architecture firm. If you've worked with me personally in my DREAM Practice Accelerator program, you'll recognize the things we've worked with you on:
What's even more remarkable is the founders of this firm are a father and son duo. Nunzio Desantis was a managing partner at the firm HKS before he left a successful and fulfilling career to start Nunzio Marc Desantis Architects with his son, Marc Jacob Desantis, who has a pedigree from some of the world's leading firms.
