Designing Forward

Episode 20 of The Green Route with MAREDI Design is here! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or click here.

For this milestone episode, we’re coming to you live from the Chicago Build Expo media lounge, where we sit down with Nathan Kipnis, principal of Kipnis Architecture + Planning and founder of NextHaus Alliance. Nathan is a nationally recognized leader in sustainable architecture focused on advancing resilient, net-zero luxury homes that prioritize health and efficiency.

Nathan shares insights on the Passive House model and how it promises buildings designed for endurance and adaptability. We discuss his award-winning Passive House projects and explore why resilience and energy-conscious design are essential for addressing climate challenges in today’s built environment.

In this conversation, learn about the future of architecture where thinking ahead means creating homes that are not only energy efficient but prepared for the changing climate and extreme weather. Join us to hear how Nathan’s work is shifting the conversation toward buildings that are designed to look forward to the future.

After tuning in, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave a review, share your favorite takeaways, or tell us what sustainability topics you’d like us to dive into next.

See you down the Green Route 😊
