  • Nov 3, 2023 - Daniel Hall - After decades of advocacy, we're on the brink of a monumental shift to view affordable green housing as a necessity!
    Nov 3 2023

    Today, we welcome Daniel Hall, from Architects Builders Collaborative, sharing his insights into the vital improvements needed in building standards and the creation of affordable, green, and low carbon footprint multi-family developments. Could the construction industry be on the brink of a monumental shift, one that not only changes traditional building methods but also empowers citizens and communities in an unprecedented way?

    The sobering reality is that green design and sustainability are no longer a luxury but a dire necessity, especially in affordable housing. Daniel reflects on a few unique and  highly successful projects. We confront the elitism in green building, discuss the impact of low carbon materials, and dissect the game-changing impact of panelized prefab construction on the green building industry. Moreover, we delve into improved building standards and their role in reducing carbon footprints, efficient construction techniques, and the relevance of proper air tightness and insulation. Enjoy!

  • Oct 6, 2023 - Booker T Washington - Micro-Living is rewriting the rules and making new pathways to homeownership
    Oct 6 2023

    Today we're joined by Booker T Washington, a visionary and strategic property  developer with deep roots in his southwest Atlanta community, and an expertise in technology. His micro home pocket community is the first of its kind to be developed by an African American, the first in the US to feature modern aesthetics, and the largest community of micro housing in Georgia.
     
    Booker is building something different, providing new options for homeownership, but more than that, South Park Cottages represent the development of neighborhood community and the opportunity to connect with our neighbors and the outdoors. They're also a move towards stabilizing a community and an economy that suffers the result of temporary rental housing and disconnected citizens.

    We discuss innovative solutions, empowering initiatives, and the potential impact of advancing homeownership. Enjoy!
