Mentioned in this episode:

Tomas Osinski, artist, architect, and industrial designer joins us to discuss the Invisible House in Joshua Tree, a 5500 square foot, 4 bed and 4 bath privately owned home that is available for rent for filming, photography, intimate events, and larger outdoor experiences.

The home is designed as one long, continuous, narrow space with a 100-foot-long interior pool as its centerpiece. Intended to appear as it has lightly landed in this moonscape, minimally disturbing the site, the structure is built on a series of reinforced concrete pillars and appears to float. The name Invisible House comes from the mirrored tempered glass that wraps the entire façade and reflects the surrounding environment, almost disappearing amongst the desert rocks and shrubs.

We discuss several aspects of the design in this episode – the inspiration, process, design considerations for the high desert environment, and hidden elements like structural, mechanical, and utilities for the home, and much more!

Roger Krulak, Founder and President of FullStack Modular, joins the show to discuss offsite construction and the processes of FullStack Modular. This is a wide-ranging conversation that you don't want to miss. We discuss the best process for design and construction, insights from a developer's perspective and how developers should rethink their approach, some of the missteps Katerra had and the subsequent perception of modular/offsite construction, media coverage of offsite construction, and so much more!
