If one were to design a curriculum for aspiring high-end urban custom builders, it might look a lot like Jake Goldberg's life. His father, who had studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology in the 1950s under Mies van der Rohe, ran his architecture firm out of the family's stately brick Victorian in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. His mother, an interior designer, also worked at home. By the time Goldberg was in high school, he was drafting in the home office off the big oak-paneled entry hall and doing carpentry on the houses his father bought and renovated. He studied economics and finance at the University of Illinois, but a construction career seems never to have been in doubt.
