September 16, 2015. Tomas is in the car, on his own, heading into work. The recorder clicks on. He sends me this, along with a series of other audio files, reflecting on various elements of his work. I can hear the morning in his voice as it croakily comes to life and the traces of a cold:...

Stories of how the practice came to be are also an account of what the practice now is, a way of articulating aspirations for what if might become. The story of friendship and making has a simplicity that continues to speak to these architects: that design and making are linked elements of a process that is interesting and creative because it is unpredictable, experimental, and sometimes leads to failure.

Contracts specify what must happen but also when. Architects must coordinate things in time as well as in space, making sure buildings are constructed “as planned” and “on time.”32 Each project is made up of a series of phases. The completion of phases is linked to the payment of fees. Intervals are prescribed in advance, limited by a fee proposal through which costs are fixed. Projects anticipate a series of known future outcomes that are worked toward: the definition of a brief; the development of a design; the detailed development of plans for planning permission and then for tendering; and the construction of the building. The time of the project is linear and sequential: each phase follows the next, one after the other. Keeping things “on time” is an important but difficult accomplishment....

Tomas picks me up from Stroud railway station to take me to the office of Millar Howard Workshop (MHW), where his architectural practice is based. It’s the first hot day of the year; suddenly summer is here. On the way we tour through the center of town. Victorian buildings have a faded grandeur hearkening back to the town’s heyday when the woolen industry brought prosperity to Stroud. Boarded-up storefronts, charity shops, and discount stores sit next to high street chains. Though Stroud is in the Cotswolds, a place synonymous with an English pastoral idyll, it is not quite of it. We proceed along the valley bottom, following the railway, the canal, and the stream, the infrastructure of a nineteenth-century economy of a bygone era. The woolen mills closed long ago; some factory buildings remain derelict while others have been converted to serve an economy that now revolves around services, retail, and small-scale manufacturing: garages, a bike shop, a craft brewery, artists’ studios, some light engineering. The money now resides in the surrounding villages, whose population of retirees and commuters is growing, a wealthy demographic from which most of Tomas’s clients are drawn....
Tomas从斯特劳德火车站接我，带我去Millar Howard Workshop (MHW)的办公室，那里是他的建筑实践基地。这是一年中第一个炎热的日子;突然，夏天来了。在路上我们参观了镇中心。维多利亚时代的建筑已经褪去了往日的辉煌，让人想起小镇的全盛时期，当时羊毛工业给斯特劳德带来了繁荣。用木板围起来的店面、慈善商店和折扣店就坐落在商业街连锁店旁边。虽然斯特劳德在科茨沃尔德，一个与英国田园诗同义的地方，但它并不完全是。我们沿着谷底前行，沿着铁路、运河和小溪，这些19世纪经济的基础设施已经成为过去。毛纺厂很久以前就关闭了;一些工厂建筑仍然被遗弃，而另一些则被改造为服务于现在围绕服务，零售和小规模制造业的经济:车库，自行车店，精酿啤酒厂，艺术家工作室，一些灯光工程。这些钱现在集中在周围的村庄，那里的退休人员和通勤者的人口正在增长，这是一个富裕的人口群体，托马斯的大多数客户都来自....

In different ways, builders and architects encounter the space between a plan and a physical building as a series of problems and issues. It is possible to resolve these through more or less formal ways of working. The history of MHW is, in general terms, one of increasing formalization. As the scope and scale of the practice’s projects have expanded, so have the budgets, the number of people involved, and the associated risks. With more to go wrong, contracts provide a way of managing risk. In the practice, architects describe what is gained by working with a contract: greater certainty that the building will be constructed as designed; an ability to control costs; and clarity about the roles of the different people involved in a project—who will do what, when, and how. They are also aware of what can be lost by working in this way....

Within the practice there are as many approaches to design as there are designers—in fact, more than that, because the quest for novelty means that the method is never entirely resolved. As architects make a professional virtue of questioning themselves, they likewise make a virtue of questioning their methods. Tom reflects on the development of his own approach:...

Tomas and Megan are reflecting together on a kind of time that Megan calls “magic”: those moments in design when suddenly something exciting happens. In a moment, it can seem that a whole design is unlocked. Why, they wonder together, is it not possible for more of their time to have this quality?...
