From The Build Show.
In this bonus episode of the Forever Home Series, Steve Baczek and Matt Risinger take viewers on an in-depth walk-through of a thoughtfully designed, high-performance New England home that proves quality construction doesn’t require a luxury budget. Visiting the project for the first time, Matt offers a fresh perspective while Steve explains the design decisions, building science strategies, and practical details that make this home durable, efficient, and truly livable. From airtight assemblies and insulation strategies to accessibility-focused layouts and smart mockups, the episode highlights how careful planning supports both performance and people. Together, Steve and Matt explore exterior detailing, interior layouts, mechanical systems, and real-world solutions that balance cost, comfort, and longevity. This bonus episode delivers valuable insights for builders, designers, and homeowners alike, showcasing how a “forever home” is built with intention, education, and craftsmanship at every step.
