EA565: Carl Gish - The Tech-Driven Home

EntreArchitect Podcast with Mark R. LePage

The Tech-Driven Home

In this episode, we sit down with Carl Gish, co-founder and co-CEO of Aro Homes, a pioneering company reshaping the housing industry. Aro Homes is on a mission to revolutionize homebuilding through tech-driven solutions, producing fast, efficient, and carbon-negative homes. Carl shares the inspiring origin story of Aro and how the company aims to replace end-of-life homes with environmentally friendly designs that are as beautiful as they are sustainable.

Discover how Aro Homes is an end-to-end developer, seamlessly managing every step from property acquisition to after-sales support. Learn about their collaboration with renowned architect Olson Kundig to create stunning homes that appeal to both aesthetics and environmental consciousness. Carl elaborates on Aro's scalable, offsite construction model that enables them to build homes more quickly and efficiently while generating more energy than they consume, thereby offsetting carbon emissions from construction.

We also explore Aro Homes' ambitious plans to expand across multiple U.S. markets, aiming to build 800 to 1000 homes annually. Carl discusses their commitment to addressing affordable housing and offering customization options to meet diverse needs.

Tune in to hear Carl Gish's unique perspective, drawn from his extensive experience in product development, brand management, and leadership roles at industry giants like Unilever, Amazon, and Dyson.
