Luxury custom homes get all the attention in magazines and movies, but do you know the complexities that are involved in this niche of the industry? Architect, David Olson, of David R. Olson Architects, joins us to discuss the architect's role, relationships between designers, builders, and clients, the process of designing a home, budget and timing, navigating contentious neighbors, and much more! We also play "What Was That Like?!," asking what was it like to experience the Great Recession while in the luxury market. Project Spotlights: Dana Point Residence by David R.
