五人设计工作室的白手起家之路

5G Studio Collaborative’s Humble Beginnings

2005年5月,斯科特•罗威和四名合伙人(其中大部分曾效力于贝克集团)在达拉斯成立了一家建筑公司--五人设计工作室。五名合伙人(即5G)一直寻求更多的设计自由。尽管他们已经获得了晋升和加薪,也规划了收入丰厚的职业生涯,但是当圣安东尼奥市的一家专科医院要求他们完成一个价值1000~1200万美元的项目时,这些年轻人看到了自己的机会。“我们不应该离职,”罗威表示,“但我们确实离职了。”

In May of 2005,five friends,most of whom formerly worked for The Beck Group,launched the Dallas-based architecture firm 5G Studio Collaborative.The five guys(thus,5G)had been seeking more design freedom.So,although they had received promotions and raises and had lucrative careers mapped out,the young men saw their opportunity when a specialty hospital in San Antonio asked them to do a$10 million to$12 million project.“It made no sense for us to leave,”one of the co-founder Lowe says.“But we did.”
