Megan ThompsonLike many interior designers, Megan Thompson owns her design firm. She has a bachelor's degree in sustainable interior design from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. Despite all the knowledge she gained in her education, she found implementing sustainability into her work frustrating. No single platform exists where all the information is easily accessible and saves you time on your projects. She decided to take matters into her own hands and created Interior Design greenList to make sustainable design easy to understand and implement, regardless of a designer's background or experience. At Interior Design greenList, Megan teaches designers about sustainability so they can navigate the industry, be ready for new baselines in industry standards, speak to industry partners with confidence, and become the go-to designer for sustainability in their area. https://idgreenlist.com/

Show Notes:ROBERT SWINBURNE AIAAfter a few false starts at college Bob found architecture school and it was good. Time consuming and expensive, but good.

Show Notes:Kiley Jacques joined the Fine Homebuilding team as a senior editor in spring 2018. After years spent writing for home magazines, she is thrilled to be developing the department's design content. The annual HOUSES, Kitchens & Baths, and Downsize issues are her purview, which means her time is spent looking for projects that are remarkable not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for the lessons they offer—her aim is to give readers thoroughly researched information that inspires. Kiley brings to the table a deep appreciation for design done right and an equally deep respect for the underlying construction methods and systems that make it work.KJacques@taunton.com

Erich KrugerErich Kruger has been in the building trades since 1997 when he was teaching carpentry in Antigua, West Indies as part of the Peace Corp/Crisis Corps. In Vermont he has worked for several general contractors and on his own. In 2005 he founded the non-profit ReNew Building Materials & Salvage, and has consulted with, and later ran, the deconstruction program at Finger Lakes ReUse in Ithaca, New York . He holds a degree in Wildlife Management & Environmental Ethics (minor).Erich is happiest when he is diverting building materials at a job-site in the company of other like-minded conscientious deconstructors, or on the wood floors of a local contra dance with his family. He lives in a straw bale home he built with ecological features, including solar electric, solar hot water, composting toilet, and masonry wood heater/oven.https://www.deconstructionworks.com/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/deconstructionworksvtDeconstruction Works specializes in the salvage and reuse (green demolition) of houses, outbuildings, and commercial interiors in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Western Massachusetts. Contractors and homeowners often lament the waste of perfectly good materials heading to the Dumpster every day. If you have a project large (whole house or commercial interior) or small (kitchens, baths, additions), why not let Deconstruction Works quote for the recycling and reuse of those building materials?

About Katherine MacPhailI believe that architects are for everyone and have made myself available to homeowners on a variety of levels. In my podcast Talking Home Renovations with the House Maven provides, I interview contractors, architects, and vendors about their expertise and homeowners about their renovation stories. I offer classes online in Home Renovation basics, Home Renovations on a budget, Environmental considerations in Home renovation and Home Renovation Design Studio. The Ask an Architect design help line offers a service to Massachusetts homeowners, contractors and designers who need a bit of help with their design. I continue to offer full service architectural services as well. After practicing architecture for 25 years, I am exploring the business side of architecture and helping young architects succeed through co-hosting Context and Clarity Live with Jeff Echols every Thursday afternoon at 4 eastern on YouTube, Linked In, Twitch and Facebook. The show is later published as a podcast. Email: kewm@demiosarchitects.com thehousemaven@talkinghomerenovations.comLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katharine-white-macphail/ About dEMios Architects Your home is an intensely personal space. Your life unfolds there. Babies come home from the hospital. Puppies are gated in the kitchen during housebreaking. 90th birthdays are celebrated in the garden. You watch stupid movies in the family room, work on jigsaw puzzles in a snow storm, get bad news. Countless dinners and coffees and nights in bed. Laundry. Sleepovers. Teenagers playing ping pong or Dungeons and Dragons. Band practice, book club, holiday parties and just being still. How will you arrange your space to make the most of all this? We have been there, and we can help you imagine it all. Most of our work consists of renovations and additions to existing housing stock in eastern Massachusetts. We prefer to work along with the client in the design process, which allows us to help the client realize their vision for their home and allows the client to participate fully in the process. We guide clients through the process of choosing their build team and ideally work closely with the contractor while construction is underway to minimize challenges and stress during that time. While we are primarily a residential design firm, we also consider the entire property, including inside and outside of the house. The living exterior informs the interior. The wall is a lens through which we perceive the world. Landscape design includes the hardscape and permanent structures of a site as well as the appropriate trees, shrubs and perennial beds. I am especially interested in the landscape during the dark and cold half of the year. https://demiosarchitects.com/

Show Notes:Shannon RichardsBorn and bred in Maine, I have been an artist and entrepreneur since I was young, and I have spent the last 20+ years in the practice of designing and building. I have manifested a life centered around creation, and I have had the privilege of being a part of producing hundreds of custom homes, commercial spaces, pieces of furniture and fixtures. I began Hay Runner because for many of us, it is hard to separate what we do from who we are. What we do is make something from nothing and that is very hard to do, certainly hard to do well. Who we are is not just business people, designers and builders. We are problem solvers. We seek the chance to do exceptional work and be outstanding. Hay Runner -https://www.hayrunner.com/

Show Notes:Steve Baczekhttps://stevenbaczekarchitect.com/info/ Steven Baczek Architect is a nationally recognized architect in the design and development of custom residential structures. I am located in the Boston Massachusetts Metro Area. Whether your need is a new custom low energy Passive House (the most stringent set of building performance standards in the country), or a zero energy home, an addition or renovation to an existing home, or a complimentary carriage house, pool house, or outbuilding, your project receives the same level of professional inquiry, respect, and understanding. My design process extensively scrutinizes every aspect of the development of your project. I employ a process of clear, practical, informational leadership that is never short of an opinion, or sometimes brutal honesty. My ability to listen, and flexibility to then adapt to each client and their respective project places my services in high regard, and high desire.I have designed numerous projects across the spectrum of energy performance, comfort, and durability, to include many of the nation’s top energy conscious homes. While many state transparent labels of “green” or “sustainability” to their work, I provide good, sound design, of enduring value that includes sound environmental and energy conscious, “Truly Green” to mine. My commitment simply equates aesthetics and durability with performance and responsibility, an “integrated package”. My 28 years of architectural experience and knowledge coupled with an advanced understanding of building science founds my client’s pursuit for collaboration. My work is routinely found in numerous local and national media outlets to include Fine HomeBuilding, Journal of Light Construction, Green Building Advisor, and Environmental Building News. While I have and will do projects outside of the New England Area, my focus is on the Boston Metro Area, Cape Cod, and the Islands.
