Hosts: Daniel Glauser, Chelsea Scharbach, and guest, Christine Williamson
In this episode of Work In Process, Chelsea and Daniel sit down with architect and building scientist Christine Williamson. The conversation explores considerations for healthy and comfortable homes, including hiring the right team and defining the scope of work early.
Christine shares insights from her work in building science and forensic investigations, explaining how many residential failures stem from early decisions that stretch budgets too far or overlook the importance of experienced professionals. The discussion highlights how homes function as complex systems, where design choices, mechanical systems, and building assemblies all influence one another.
The group also reflects on the value of collaboration and trust between homeowners, architects, and builders. Through stories from their own projects and personal homes, they discuss why investing in expertise early leads to better long-term outcomes and why building the house you can afford often leads to more durable, comfortable, and satisfying homes.
