In the aftermath of the economic crash that came to a head in 2008, CUSTOM HOME’s sister magazine Residential Architect surveyed 10 residential design firms about how they were coping with dwindling projects and budgets for its January/February 2009 cover story “Word On the Street.” Girding for the worst, most of these struggling firms painfully pared staff and slashed expenses.
