In this episode of the Build Show Podcast, Matt sits down with architect Steve Baczek to dive into his newest series, Forever Home. The project explores the challenges and opportunities of designing a multi-generational residence that accommodates three families under one roof, including a wheelchair-bound family member with unique accessibility needs. Matt and Steve unpack how thoughtful design balances private retreats with generous community spaces, while also addressing energy efficiency, durability, and long-term livability. They discuss the client’s vision of a true “forever home,” integrating universal design principles, low-maintenance materials, and future-proof systems like backup power and high-performance windows. The conversation also highlights Steve’s decades-long collaboration with Shoreline Builders and their innovative use of Ready Frame systems. Packed with practical building science insights, this episode offers inspiration for anyone planning their own forever home or guiding clients through that journey.
