"Please be aware that as an architect, you will need to build and maintain your own home as well. The Lead Architect would like to be heavily involved, which is great news for you! His ideas are all good, and he knows you really well and has a good vision of what kind of house would work best for you, in terms of both functionality and joy. The Lead will undoubtedly set parameters for how your house should be built. If you’ve chosen to work for his company and call yourself an architect, please understand that part of that means you have recognized the Lead is your employer, and you’ve invited him to give you boundaries and assignments. It is a sign of respect and love when you adhere to the parameters he sets."

"If you are not an architect, please do not call yourself an architect. Sometimes people don’t realize they aren’t an architect, and that’s because a lot of architects are really mute about their lives as an architect. But again, if you don’t actually know what an architect is, or have never spent any time with the Lead Architect, and you haven’t chosen to be an architect, then you are not an architect. An architect studies their field extensively. They spend time with the Lead Architect to learn to be an architect like he is. They consistently show up to the company and put in hours and live as an architect. You can tell because they have the blueprints to prove it. An architect does not work for any other companies, because being an architect is a full-time, all-consuming job."
