From The Build Show.
In this episode of The Build Show, Matt takes us inside an architect’s own studio in East Austin — a masterpiece built with “monopoly framing,” where every structural element is expressed rather than hidden behind insulation and drywall. Architect Tim Derrington, Founding Principal of Derrington Building Studio, designed and constructed this space with simplicity, durability, and beauty in mind, proving that standard materials, when thoughtfully assembled, can create a structure that’s serviceable, sustainable, and built to last centuries. From exposed framing to exterior insulation strategies, clever detailing, and a minimalist yet highly functional infrastructure approach, this project is a true case study in building science and design. Whether you’re a builder, architect, or homeowner passionate about healthy, long-lasting homes, this episode offers inspiring lessons you won’t want to miss.
