Commemorating the Beginning of Our 48th Year

One of a kind new planning/design project-Roswell Rotary Club in partnership with the City of Roswell has commissioned our firm to design a Historic American Walk of Valor on the Faces of War Memorial Park grounds at Roswell City Hall.

Our firm designed the existing Faces of War Memorial and Memorial Park that was dedicated Memorial Day, 1995.

 

This will be the only Military Memorial Park in America honoring our men and women of valor beginning with the 1776 American Revolutionary War - all major American Wars since, including the current War in Afghanistan.  Roswell Rotary's vision under the leadership of President Dave McCleary is to remember and honor all those men and women of valor who fought, bled, died and survived these wars to protect our fragile Liberty and Freedoms.  Stay tuned for updates.

 

Contact Zachary W. Henderson, A.I.A. if you would like to be a part of this endeavor with a donation to Roswell Rotary.

What We Can Do For You

Who is the Perfect Client?

Last Fall a long-time creative friend of mine, Steve Beecham, and I were reconnecting after too long a time had slipped by.  If you are fortunate enough to know Steve, "The Beech", you know what a fascinating guy he is.  During our intersection Steve asked me "What would be a perfect client for you?"  Since then I not only have given the question a lot of thought, it has become my top marketing aid in our 48th year in business.  My thought process started with the process of elimination.  It's easier to decide what clients were not perfect for me and my firm than who was and is.  I won't list the "Not Perfect for Us" list for fear of causing pain, but I do have a more definitive goal of who are our preferred clients.  The trait that they must have is honesty, which I would think tops your list also.  I've paid the price for misjudging this trait through the years, but by and large I have guessed correctly.  Next, I prefer independent decision makers, risking their own money.  The quality that vaults a client to the top of the list, if he or she is an honest decision maker, is their creativity.  Presently all our current clients meet our criteria and make our tasks as architect/planners a joyful challenge.  One of these joys involves the smallest structure we've ever created.  This little structure has a footprint less than 400 square feet, has a great purpose to be created and is extremely eco-friendly.  The client is a fascinating pioneer in her field and lives on the cutting edge of life.  One of the quotations in my published Journal by Lou Whitaker:

 

"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space."

 

This little 380 square foot structure is taking up a small space with a cutting edge purpose.  This is about as perfect as it gets.
