In today's episode, Mariah and Ryan talk to Trevor Hoover, Partner, and Architectural Designer at Habitat Studio. Mariah finds out that one of her all-time favourite homes in Edmonton was designed by Trevor and his team, and they talk about how he came up with the design that has that “hygge” feel. Trevor explains their design process and how context and the client's needs are key to creating someone’s dream home, and what zoning changes could help make that happen. Habitat is known for sustainable design, and Ryan asks Trevor about their 18 sustainable design choices. Trevor explains how choices like a true 9’-1” basement ceiling height can make a big difference. Trevor explains to Mariah how they can achieve zero thermal bridging and .5 air exchanges per hour. Listen in to hear how Habitat brings design and sustainability together!

A 1989 graduate of NAIT’s architecture and design program, Trevor Hoover joined the team as a draftsman in 1994. Now one of the partners and head of Habitat’s design section, he oversees every unique design produced by the “studio” side of the operation. He guides each Habitat client through the collaborative process of concepts, drawings and blueprints that precedes the building phase of every project. Trevor has earned widespread respect and recognition for his distinctive designs. He endows every Habitat home with its own identifiable flair, regardless of the architectural style chosen by the client.
