Greg Faulkner, joins the podcast to discuss their approach to incorporating existing elements into design. Greg Faulkner formed Faulkner Architects in 1998 to pursue the making of highly crafted, site sensitive places. With a strong commitment to the quality of every project, Faulkner’s portfolio is an extensive collection of innovative and environmentally sensitive homes. This podcast explores the path Faulkner takes to be sensitive to client concerns while also incorporating the dreams and goals of the client. Respect and reputation allow Faulkner to enjoy repeat projects for clients that make up a third of the work. Evolution of the design through construction is an integral part of the process. From Ottawa to Noe Valley, Faulkner’s work speaks for itself.
