Discipline is a calling card.<\/h3>

What made your Architect who they are today?<\/p>

We feel it matters.
Our past, our values, our philosophy, our integrity, and our discipline.\u00a0
It’s about relationships.<\/p>

FORM64 founder Scott Schwartz, a Principal Architect and Master Builder, is a fourth-generation San Diego native now living in Palm Springs, CA. He did undergraduate studies in Architecture and a master\u2019s program in Psychology, and is an ongoing student of Stoicism.<\/p>

Scott has held a full-time job since the age of 15 when his home became a single-parent family. Many roles have not been glamorous. Everything from back-breaking chili picking in the New Mexico farm fields, cooking at McDonald’s, working a coal forge and anvil for a horseshoer, working on a septic tank pump truck, doing production framing paid by the piece, scrubbing boat bottoms,\u00a0 limousine chauffeur, to scrubbing desktops after hours for architects in the days of pencil drawing. And racing bikes!<\/p>

Scott has lived in the harshest of desert climates as well as in the snow-bound Colorado mountains. His appreciation of regionally appropriate Architecture and materiality needed to survive (literally) extreme conditions goes beyond theory.<\/p>

Whether you want an estate home in Old Las Palmas or La Jolla, a city pied-\u00e0-terre, a unique small multifamily housing project, or your own self-contained, off-grid special place in the mountains, Scott can make it happen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Scott has over 40 years of professional experience in San Diego, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Atlanta, and remote Western Colorado. His time has been equally split between Architecture and Construction, where he has earned the respect of both sides in the building industry. He is also skilled in most trades and enjoys working hands-on at construction sites or crafting modern furniture in his shop.\u00a0<\/p>

He has done construction management for projects by some of the world’s leading “starchitects”, and as such, has a keen insight to where the opportunity is to do better for our clients – in process, product, and price.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Scott spent years living fully off-grid on a remote Western Colorado mountain top at 7,500′ elevation, while doing Architecture via Starlink, Zoom and truck trips around the West.<\/p>

Hauling 750 gallons of potable water at a time up Colorado mountains with his beast of a truck and having spent his formative years in the barren New Mexico high desert, he is well versed in water conservation for many reasons.<\/p>

Self-reliance with an elegant simplicity and rigorous discipline is a way of life that Scott embraces still to this day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

A former professional cyclist, Scott remains highly active in cycling, high-altitude\u00a0trail running, mountaineering. adventure motorcycling, and overland truck travel.<\/p>

These pursuits reflect the vitality and discipline that fuel his success in both life and career, at a level the belies his age.<\/p>

Scott regularly trail runs after work between 8,000′ and 11,000′ elevation above Palm Springs, where he is a fixture on the Palm Springs Tramway. Look for him!\u00a0<\/p>
