This week, I wanted to dive into the topic of Lean Home Design, and I was able to snag Todd Hallett – the Muddy Shoe Architect himself from TK Home Design – as my guest. I’m a huge fan of Todd and the plans his company puts out to the industry. You may have seen his work in Builder magazine. He’s often one of the architects who shows how simple re-designs of existing plans can result in a more-efficient and better-looking house. To some, Lean Design can be misconstrued to mean “cheapening up your product” – or – “building to absolute minimum building codes.” I ask Todd about these preconceptions – and – ask him to explain what Lean Design is (and how to get started, if you’re not already doing this).
