I've been slowly developing ideas for a 'Hybrid Architecture Practice' over a couple of years now and it's brought me to some contrarian views as to where the industry is heading and how more importantly new startups should implement certain strategies to both survive and thrive in the upcoming years.
I'm ideally looking for a partner who's worked in the industry for a couple of years minimum. You cannot be stuck in a certain way of doing things, this company will be doing things a little different. Also, I'm going to be focused on premium end clients who are not going to haggle over price. I'm not competing for scraps with low-end extension projects, that's a race to the bottom and it's more hassle than it's worth. With that in mind, you have to display all the qualities associated with a high-end designer. I'd Ideally like someone very technically proficient with a keen eye for style over fashion. If you like Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry we will probably but heads during the design process on projects so your probably not the match I'm looking for.
The workload is a daunting prospect and I have other projects to work on so I'm seeking a partner who fits certain criteria who will add value to what I'm already bringing to the table.
If you'd like to discuss further and live in the East Midlands area get in touch with me.

Fun to assume you'll get all those high-end clients "just because", but that's not going to happen.

I don't need to get high-end clients. I'm already self-sufficient. This is a side project for me. The company will be specifically targeted to a certain section of the market so I'll either get the clients I want or I won't be doing business. That's what being self-sufficient gives you. It's that fuck you money you will never have.

I can point to a plethora of errors in almost everyone who posted arguments. You cannot do the same. That is the definition of getting destroyed. It became about 7 on 1 in the end throughout the day and I destroyed every one of you. I am more intelligent than the combined collection of all you put together. You are an embarrassment and a weasel. If you want to disprove me go ahead, quote me and prove it. I can and have quoted you on occasion but trust me I could put at least 30 more errors you and your group of homies made, every time I brought up an error silence on the subject closely followed if that isn't an acknowledgement of defeat I don't know what is?

I've posted probably 50 times on that thread. With a lot of detail. Go quote me and find an error. If you can prove I'm wrong I'm not ashamed to hold my hands up. This challenge has been offered to you on many occasions and yet all you have in your favour is a group of cronies who waffle the same shit you do. Just one big echo chamber of mutual masturbation that makes you feel better about yourself.

When it comes to building science you are either wrong or right. We are not discussing whether the colour purple is the best colour for the kitchen cabinets. The product either fails under testing or it doesn't. Are you all really this thick?
