E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is a podcast dedicated to energy efficient home building in cold climate areas of New England. This week we invited our friend and colleague Bob Swinburne to join us and talk about semi customizable plan sets like his Vermont Simple House project and our semi custom division at Mottram Architecture. We talk about why we think it’s an important and under served section of the market, what potential panelization might play in future builds, and the importance of having the architect be an advocate for the homeowner through the construction process.
