After a career gap, I got into a " high end" small residential architecture + ID firm. I love the work. I learned a lot of detailing and got hands on CA experience.
Are there any downside to doing only residential architecture ?
Thank you,

In other words it's still architecture, which as a profession sucks.

downsides from someone who has never done residential:
real architects look down on you
you will never be exposed to the complexities of industrial, commercial, etc….
you may become pigeonholed in one project type
you will not be exposed to professional clients who have built many projects and years of experience in the industry.
I believe the pay is better outside of residential.
plenty of upsides too, but you didn't ask about that.....

Pay is not bad since we do interiors as well.
