Breck Designed His Own Home, And Now He's Building It

If you've listened to our podcast for a while you know that our Director of Design, Breck Crandell is going through the process of building his own home, here in Detroit.

The journey hasn't come without some challenges, but he is finally putting a shovel in the ground and build the houm proof of concept.

In this newest episode, Breck shares his whole process from design to permitting and finding a bank and goes into detail on why this project is so much more than just building his own home.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: 

• Overview of the Cochrane Home.
