We have been working with Fred Blome since 2013 on over 20 projects as part of an ongoing production assistance relationship between 8TFive Studio and Blome Architecture.
Fred is a licensed architect in the state of California and had reached out to us on an inquiry about how we liked using a project management software. We started talking and found there was an opportunity for an ongoing virtual working environment though multiple platforms.
In order for this to really work out, an innovative approach and constant adapting to potentially new workflows would need to occur. Fred seemed to match well with our technology driven Services.
Invaluable Mentoring Role
Fred has very much aided our own professional development as a mentor of sorts. Considering he has established his own thriving and sought after architectural practice in the San Francisco Bay area, Blome Architecture has been a great partner to help out and collaborate with.
All the projects are 100% residential and he has some truly stunning completed works. Fred does post progress images of his current designs on his Blogs but also highlights them in his Portfolio.
There is no doubt that his impact on working with an emerging architect will influence how we collaborate in the future with other aspiring architects …
That is once we hopefully get as successful and build a reputation such as his.
Inspiring Portfolio of Work
We continue to be impressed with Fred’s ability and creativity, not to mention client management. A good portion of his work comes from word of mouth and referrals from satisfied clients.
A marketing strategy that we certainly aim to achieve as we build our brand’s awareness.
Blome Architecture will continue to not only be a collaborative partner on his production needs for residential jobs in the San Francisco Bay area but will be a resource that we tap into as needed.
Given the years of experience in a highly regulated and thriving housing market, if we ever come across a building code situation, project circumstance or any other FAQs …
Blome Architecture will probably be the first one we’d turn to for some advice!
