Home: The Second StoryWhat 19 Years Can Teach You About Building a HouseThis episode brings us a new perspective - someone who has been in their home for nearly two decades. Today, we sit down with Scott Choppin, a Long Beach, California homeowner who completed a full scrape-and-rebuild of his family home nearly twenty years ago. We explore what it means to live with your design decisions over the long term and how perspective changes when you’ve raised a family in the house you built from scratch.

As residential architects, this time of year brings a unique set of challenges and insights. The conversation starts with a shared reality: everyone wants to be “in by the holidays,” but timelines rarely allow for that. Finishing construction projects in December is complicated by shorter days, worker availability, and seasonal slowdowns across permitting and trade schedules. We often find ourselves having to reset expectations around what’s...

A shower floor needs very different performance qualities than a kitchen backsplash, and that’s where we begin the conversation with our clients.We talk about size trends, especially the growing popularity of large-form...

(Snack Sized Episode)In this snack-size episode of Home: The Second Story, we dive into the world of construction contract structures—a topic many homeowners find confusing but absolutely essential to understand. We break down the two main contract types: fixed price (or stipulated sum) and cost-plus (often referred to as time and materials), exploring how each affects cost, transparency, and risk.From Marilyn’s background as a contractor, we hear that contracts are essentially about who carries the risk. In a cost-plus setup, the owner takes on the risk—and reaps any potential savings if material prices drop. In contra...

In Ohio, Sheri notes that many clients initially want large sliding doors to open entire walls, but often back away due to limited usability and cost. In Alabama, Taylor highlights the prevalence and value of screen porches, which are usable much of the year and often include fireplaces, fans, and even TVs (for football of course).
