   PODCAST EP 057 - LANDSCAPE & Your Custom Home

   Landscape In this episode, we are joined by landscape architect Gary Lewis, and we explore the fascinating world of landscape architecture and its profound impact on custom homes and designs. Gary shares his journey from being a general contractor to pursuing landscape architecture, offering insights into the multifaceted nature of the field beyond just planting trees. He highlights the importance of thoughtful landscape design in integrating with architecture, addressing stormwater management, sun orientation, and aesthetic harmony. We also touch on landscape architecture's pivotal role in shaping every architectural project's narrative and functional aspects. To explore the dynamic interplay between architecture and landscape design, tune in now! Here are key things to listen out for: ● Exploring landscape architecture's depth beyond planting norms ● How landscape architecture handles sunlight, shade, and the environment ● The artistic role of landscape design in merging architecture with nature Key Highlights [00:00:30] Gary’s expertise and insights in landscape architecture [00:02:17] Exploring landscape architecture's depth beyond planting norms [00:04:57] Significance of stormwater management and drainage in residential projects [00:06:12] The difference between a berm and a swale [00:07:13] Exploring landscape architecture's multifaceted approach [00:08:12] How landscape architecture handles sunlight, shade, and the environment [00:10:28] Balancing technical landscape aspects with clients' personal and psychological factors [00:13:02] The artistic role of landscape design in merging architecture with nature [00:15:09] The impact of landscape architecture on the success of a project [00:20:41] Recent tech progress in architecture, especially with software like Revit Notable Quotes: ● Immediately when people think landscape, they think of plants. And that is a part of landscape architecture, but it's more than plants. Landscape architecture can be master planning, regional planning, um, site planning, um, all sorts of planning. ● What people often don't understand is they'll look at a structure, and what they see before they see the structure is they see what's in front of it. They see the site. And so that kind of partially informs their view of the whole thing.

   PODCAST EP 056 - FINISHES & Your Custom Home

   Finishes In this episode, JD Carling explores architectural finishes, emphasizing their significance and impact on the project.

JD explores the nature of finishes, touching on material choices, color temperatures, and their interconnectedness within the architectural DNA. He discusses the interplay between desire, nature, and results, urging listeners to consider the harmony and transformative potential that well-integrated finishes can bring. JD underscores the importance of detail and provides insights into the intricate process of material selection, installation, and their effects on the surrounding spaces. Join the conversation now! Here are key things to listen out for: ● The essential role of integration and cohesion in design ● How different qualities of materials relate to the architectural DNA of a project ● Incorporating personal elements into architectural design ● The importance of blending diverse finishes for a harmonious living space Key Highlights [00:00:00] Introduction to today’s topic: Finishes [00:01:57] The importance of blending diverse finishes for a harmonious living space [00:02:51] The importance of factoring color temperatures and lighting into project finishing [00:03:46] The necessity of focusing on overlooked details for a seamless and cohesive design [00:05:58] The essential role of integration and cohesion in design [00:06:54] The importance of materials and design elements interacting harmoniously in architecture [00:08:53] How different qualities of materials relate to the architectural DNA of a project [00:11:15] Reflection on the trend toward minimalist and smooth designs in architecture [00:12:28] Incorporating personal elements into architectural design [00:15:28] Balancing personal desire with material characteristics and safety in architectural design [00:18:52] The diversity and complexity of finishing materials in architectural design Notable Quotes: ● There's a whole division in the architectural specifications called finishes, and it's a very appropriate word because there's a saying that goes, the last 10% of a project takes 30% of the work. ● I like to use 3000 for everything unless it's color. Um, but that's the base, uh, color light. But it is generally recommended that the dimmer something is, the warmer the light, and the brighter it is. ● Depending on your hemisphere, the light on those things will be very different. When you place something flat on a table, and there's a light on it inside versus taking it outside and holding it up vertically with the sun, hitting it in the direction that it's going to be, that thing will look vastly different. ● I think the main thing that I want us to come away with today that I hope you'll take away with you is that in your mind, you can have a board, or you can have things next to each other, and you can get samples too. You know, obviously, we do renderings, get samples, put them next to each other, test them in the sun, test them in, um, artificial light, how they're going to look, what side of the building they're facing, north versus south.
