Attardo Pondelis Architecture

There is one notion of an architect's client as a patron of the arts, enabling an artist to perform his or her magic and then present the design to the owner like a gift to be unwrapped with much fanfare. Polar opposite to that approach is design-by-committee with the architect assuming the role of scribe or negotiator. The practice of residential architecture usually falls somewhere between these two extremes. Our clients come to us for our expertise and our art, but our best work results when we are able to engage them in the design dynamic.
