  The Co-Living Revolution: The Next Big Real Estate Boom

  Sep 23, 202631 minS2

  As rents skyrocket and homeownership moves out of reach for millions, young adults and city dwellers are facing an unprecedented loneliness epidemic. Co-living and community-focused high-density housing is becoming a fundamental necessity rather than just a temporary design trend. We explore how smart architectural design balances the delicate trade-off between private acoustics and shared community spaces. We also break down how developers and cities can adapt zoning to make co-living both financially viable and human-centered. Episode Highlights: Property ownership is changing. Rent costs and loneliness are both skyrocketing. America has stripped away natural community touchpoints—and how we bring them back. Ensuring private retreats within shared spaces. How co-living models allow developers to maximize yield while lowering renter costs. Cochrane Commons & community land trusts. Resources: View the full Show Notes . Check your carbon footprint .

  Making Building Fun Again w/ Zachary Miller

  Aug 26, 202647 minS2

  How do we fix the broken permit process and actually make building houses fun again? We sit down with Zachary D. Miller, AIA, NCARB—a Cleveland-based registered architect and Plan Examiner for the City of Cleveland's Building and Housing Department. Having worked on both sides of the drawing board, Zachary brings a uniquely practical perspective on what it really takes to move a project from a cool concept to a fully permitted build. We dive deep into the importance of city departments working as a unified team, why traditional construction remains the "safe" default, and how cities like Cleveland are modernizing their review processes to support innovative building methods like modular and "industrialized units." Episode Highlights: How and why do we need to make it easier to build? How the industrial revolution led to housing expansion in the midwest. Permitting reform process in Cleveland. Creating clear paths to move smoothly through the system. Building is fun! Housing is an assembly of details. How do we go beyond cool concepts and actually make a model that works? Deregulation of the system to give some more ownership to the builder!! Resources: View the full Show Notes .

  The Circular Economy: Designing a Building for Its Own Funeral

  Jul 29, 202634 min

  We dive deep into the future of construction: Design for Deconstruction (DfD) and the Circular Economy. Instead of swinging wrecking balls and dumping tons of waste into landfills, what if we designed buildings to be taken apart, repurposed, and regenerated? Jill and Leslie break down how Three Squared is challenging convention. We discuss the perks of DfD for developers to real-world examples like preserving historic barns and panelized core systems. Plus, we get into the nitty-gritty of Mass Timber funding, navigating regulatory hurdles, and why "material passports" could completely change the USA building industry. Episode Highlights: Why should we be designing buildings to be taken apart and reused, not dumped in landfills? How "Design for Deconstruction" (DfD) increases long-term profits for developers. Navigating the financial proformas, US funding hurdles, and regulatory gaps. What is a "material passport”? Lessons from historic barn preservation to panelized core systems built for easy repair.
