Pushing the Limits
This week, we're talking with industry pros who haven't settled for the default. Phius' Kat Klingenberg is a pioneer who built her own passive home, long before there ever was one, and, in our Q&A with her, makes the case for passive building as the new baseline for performance.
Our case study looks at a team working a tight lot in Old Town Alexandria, who proved the idea that constraints often drive creativity and good design. And in our latest Builder in 5, we chat with a firm making the case for getting interior designers into the process earlier—before the walls close—and explains what it costs when they don't. Raising the bar, it turns out, rarely happens by accident.
