Reader & Swartz Architects
Chuck Swartz and Beth Reader met in architecture school at Virginia Tech. After graduation, they moved to Chuck’s hometown of Winchester, Virginia to work and to plan a bicycling trip across the country to “figure out where we want to live.” A knee injury, jobs in separate offices (and later in the same office), and, ultimately, a building recession killed the biking pilgrimage and the quest to find the “ideal place.”
The husband-and-wife architecture firm of Reader & Swartz Architects strategically began during the 1990 recession with no clients, no projects, no prospects, no money, a Golden Retriever named Mabel, and two young architects’ irrational sense of optimism.
Thirty years later, we now have clients, projects, prospects, a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier named Charley, and an office full of “youngish” people with irrational senses of optimism. Over the years, we have managed to get published for doing interesting work, and have won design awards, but most importantly, we have had the privilege of working with a lot of great people.
