The Client
Modern architecture implies far more intelligent cooperation on the part of the client than ever before. Rewards being so much greater in a work of art than by any "good taste" of the usual client, the wisdom of human investment now lies in "the home as a work of art." Correspondingly, the architect becomes more important than ever. The dwelling "as-a-work-of-art" is a better place in which to be alive, ...... in every sense. Therefore, why not a better "investment"? The interests of architect and owner are thus mutual and binding on both. Frank Lloyd Wright from a Testament, 1957

THE PERSONAL ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES OF
JAMES WALTER SCHILDROTH
ARE AVAILABLE WITH THE FOLLOWING UNDERSTANDING:
That we join in a voluntary relationship to create original architecture.
As we begin, the style and form of the house is not known. When it is built, the results are so natural we will wonder why we could not see the design in the beginning.

MY COMMITMENT TO MY CLIENTS AND MYSELF
1.
To
devote my energy and talent to my clients to give them my best, and treat each house as if
I am doing it for myself.
2.
To form
a partnership with clients willing to allow the creative process to direct us to the
finial design.
3.
To
work with clients that are willing to give up preconceptions and follow the dream.
4.
TO BE THE FACILITATOR: Guide my clients through the process of discovery and then
guide both the client and builder through the construction process to the realization of
the built dream.
SCOPE OF SERVICE: As I see it there are 6
parts leading from the formless beginning to the actual physical realization of your dream
house. All the parts are necessary and
important, each one leading to the next. If
we follow this process, success is assured. The
parts are as follows:
PART 1: Understanding
YOUR NEEDS & BUDGET: Understanding and definition of your needs and
balancing your needs with your budget.
We can do many useful things in part one before any design is started.
PART 3: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: Refinement of the design conception in
more detail so meets every requirement and is entirely satisfactory to both client and
architect.
PART 4: CONSTRUCTIONS
DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS: From approved Design Development drawings
prepare detailed drawings and specifications that are used to price the construction
and guide in the construction of the house.
PART 6: CONSTRUCTION: Work with you and the builder to realize the concept we have on the drawings. The drawings are only an outline and a guide. My role is to keep one step ahead of the building process so the finished house is not only realized but improved as the construction proceeds. It is very important for you to work through the architect and for the builder to know the architect is there to help accomplish the work not just police the job.
Our many years of practice can make this an enjoyable experience.
Sincerely,
James Walter Schildroth, Organic Architect
