Ep. 73 - The New Way Americans Are Building Their Homes

In this episode of the In The House Podcast, hosts Lonnie and Michael sit down with Austin-based architect Winn Whitman to discuss the topics reshaping how Americans live and build their homes.The housing crisis is forcing families to rethink everything and Winn is seeing it firsthand in his designs. From dual primary suites to ADUs and flexible multigenerational floor plans, he breaks down exactly how home design is shifting to accommodate multiple generations under one roof and why it might be the smartest move families can make right now.They also get into the wisdom economy and why in a world full of AI and free information, real expertise and experience are becoming more valuable than ever. Winn shares why he believes robots will never fully replace seasoned architects.And if that wasn't enough, Winn takes us through his wild career journey from buying a $105,000 unfinished building at 27 and finishing it with a crew from a homeless shelter, to getting blindsided by a contractor who was embezzling money and deliberately stalling his project.Whether you're a homeowner, builder, architect, real estate investor, or just someone trying to understand where housing in America is heading this episode is for you.🎙️ Guest: Winn Whitman | Architect | Custom Home Design🎧 Hosted by Lonnie & Michael | In The House Podcast#construction #architecture #podcast #homebuilding #craftsman #austintexas #customhomes #generationaliving #multigenerational #AIvsexperience #artificialintelligence #housingcrisis #realestate #constructionbusiness #familyhome #architecturedesign #wisdomeconomy #inthehousepodcast
