Living Shelter Architects has joined Seattle architecture and design firm, Board & Vellum, forming the base of a new studio focused on sustainable practices, with Terry Phelan at the helm as Director of Sustainable Practice. Terry is also the host of the Living Shelter podcast, where she continues her work as a sustainability advocate. Presenting today’s innovative people, processes, and materials that help us create healthy, energy efficient, and joyful places to live, the Living Shelter podcast dives deep with other green building groundbreakers in conversations to inspire the next generation of passionate architects and designers leading us into the future. Before joining Board & Vellum, Terry founded Living Shelter Architects in 1992, building a woman-owned architecture firm specializing in resilient residential and small community design, with a focus on passive solar concepts and traditional forms. Since then, Terry has become known for her pioneering work with alternative building materials such as straw bales with natural plasters. Season 1 of the Living Shelter podcast is launching in April 2023, with more seasons to come. We hope you'll join us on your podcast app of choice, for chats with guests about their efforts to help us create a deeper green, resilient future.
