en years in business is a celebrated milestone in any industry. For a boutique architectural design firm that has weathered economic recessions, hurricanes, and now a global pandemic, it is even sweeter. Founding principals architect Darrell Russell and Jonathan Hampel named their firm A BOHEME Design for the creative energy of the artists and free spirits labeled bohemian in the mid- to late-1800s French art scene. It’s this sense of higher purpose and creativity that they strive to assert in every design they create. Located near the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in Inlet Beach, Florida, A BOHEME (also known simply as BOHEME) has completed stunning residential and commercial projects for clients along the Gulf Coast, in Miami, and beyond. As they approach the firm’s eleventh anniversary, having assembled an incredible body of work, Russell and Hampel reflect on some takeaways from their first ten years in business and their high hopes for the future.
