Hosted by Maine architects Chris Briley and Phil Kaplan, the show is equal parts sustainability insights, nerdy design chat, and friendly banter—the kind of conversation you’d have after hours, leaning on the bar at a building conference.

Each episode serves up topics like Passive House, embodied carbon, and high-performance design, but never with a straight face. Instead, expect plenty of tangents, cocktail recipes, music recommendations, and the occasional “did we just say that out loud?” moment. Chris and Phil bring real-world experience from the drafting table and job site, but they’re not afraid to laugh at themselves along the way.

If you’re an architect, builder, student, or just someone who thinks a greener future sounds like a good idea, grab a drink and join the Lounge. It’s proof that sustainable design talk doesn’t have to be dry—it can be shaken, stirred, and downright fun.
