Reminder: DuPage PADS Drive for 155!It’s May, the sun is starting to shine, and we are only two months away from the fourteenth annual DuPage PADS Drive for 155 charity karting race! You may remember that this is one of the favorite events for the Studio21 Architects team, and we always want to take some time to highlight this event that raises money for such a worthy cause. If this is your first time hearing about DuPage PADS or their annual charity kart race, here’s a quick overview.
DuPage PADS was founded in 1985 to provide interim and permanent housing to those experiencing homelessness in DuPage County. PADS is tuned in to the fact that the solution to homelessness is so much more complex than offering food and temporary shelter; it is about offering the tools and support to stop the cycle. In addition to housing, the team at PADS puts their clients in touch with any supplemental support they may need, like case management and employment support.

Documentary...NOW!A NOTE FROM BILL There never seems to be a dull moment at Studio21 Architects; I am well and truly back from my trips to Las Vegas, for the International Builder’s Show, and New Zealand, for the A.M.I. Mastermind Summit, and I feel like I am back into the swing of things at the office— just in time for the slowly warming weather. As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers, and while that generally proves to be true, for me the advent of Spring means something else entirely: the beginning of racing season!
Decompress Your Design StressARCHITECT'S ADVICE I’m sure it comes as no surprise that stories about design projects often come with ominous undertones. Home projects are a source of constant stress! Why would you ever start a renovation––don’t you know projects like that can ruin a marriage? Design projects just bring out the worst in everyone! One quick Google search, and it looks as though the confirmation is right there; pages and pages of articles about this topic are right there at the forefront, and with that, it starts to feel like there’s reason to be worried. Take it one step further, and you can see in seemingly scientific percentages the rates of frustration, regret, and even separation in couples that jump into a home design project. [Okay, I know that so far, I am sounding like a harbinger of doom, so let’s just take a breath before moving on.]
