The Windowless Home

Join Mark as he sits down with Scott Specht, the founding partner of Specht Novak, who brings over 30 years of experience in designing and managing institutional, commercial, and residential projects. Before establishing Specht Novak (formerly Specht Architects), Scott honed his skills as a senior designer at Studio Daniel Libeskind, where he contributed to the winning New York World Trade Center master planning proposal. 

In this episode, Scott delves into the significance of experimental projects in architecture and how they have influenced his practice. He shares insights from his latest venture, the Next American House—a groundbreaking windowless house design that uses internal courtyards for natural illumination. Scott explains the innovative concept behind this project and its potential as a prototype for future developments. He also emphasizes the importance of documenting and promoting experimental projects to gain recognition and enhance business growth.

Scott’s independent design work has been showcased in prominent exhibitions, including two SoHo gallery shows, Yale University, the Van Alen Institute, the Municipal Art Society of New York, The University of Texas at Austin, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Additionally, he has shared his expertise as a featured TEDx speaker and co-authored the book "Coffee Lids" for Princeton Architectural Press.
