#321 - AU - New Trends in Custom Residential

Topic

The Archispeak University (AU) series introduces educational content for architects and designers.

In this episode, Danny Wang of Danny Wang Design joins us to discuss new trends in custom residential design and construction, particularly focusing on the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces made possible with his turnkey design build service and some unique building products in the outdoor heating, flooring, and technology categories.

One key aspect of Danny's success is his ability to leverage social media as a marketing and business development tool. With a million Instagram followers, a vibrant YouTube channel, and his TikTok presence, he has built a strong audience, some of which become clients with big budgets. This allows him to explore and execute even more daring and innovative design ideas.

The conversation explores some of the jaw-dropping projects that Danny has worked on, including a pool built over a basement with acrylic windows, allowing views from both above and below the water. Another project features an indoor tennis court with a koi pond on top, creating a unique entry experience. These projects showcase Danny's knack for pushing boundaries and creating truly one-of-a-kind spaces.

This episode has been made possible with the generous support of Bromic Heating.
