If you think landscape architecture is just grass and benches, bless your heart, but you haven’t met Brandon Reed, PLA, Founder of Loft Six Four. His firm is redefining rooftop real estate with bold, modern outdoor spaces that do more than look pretty - they create experiences, foster community, and give shared living a whole new purpose.

From hospitality-inspired vibes to the ROI of innovative outdoor design, Brandon spills the dirt (yep, pun intended) on how branding, user experience, and sustainability elevate urban living. Whether you’re a developer chasing higher rents, an architect itching for creative freedom, or someone who loves a rooftop with a view and a vibe, this episode covers you. What you’ll walk away with: Real talk on how rooftop amenities drive lease-ups, retention, and long-term ROI The secret sauce behind outdoor spaces that create real community and not just curb appeal Why branding matters as much as plants when it comes to landscape architecture Expect bold insights, a few laughs, and a fresh perspective on why the future of multifamily living is headed skyward.

34:42

In this episode of ThriveCAST, Shannon Singler sits down with Deborah Buelow, founder of Cedar Architecture, to talk about the future of architecture - and spoiler alert: it's not just about “sustainability” anymore. Deborah shares her unconventional journey in architecture, her deep dive into tiny living, and why she’s on a mission to replace “sustainable” with something more powerful: regenerative design. This conversation unpacks the shift from simply reducing harm to actively designing spaces that give back to the environment and human health. From navigating economic barriers to pushing for bio-based materials, Deborah breaks down the fundamental challenges (and wins) of building homes that don’t just exist, but thrive. What You'll Learn: Listening is a superpower. Deborah swears that deep listening is the key to designing spaces that actually serve people. Sustainability is old news. The future is regenerative design - buildings that grow, heal, and work with nature. Your home affects your health. Design choices impact everything from your mood to your sleep. Cedar Architecture’s Compass Rose method helps guide projects toward holistic, healthy outcomes. Community matters. Engaging with people is crucial to creating spaces that truly serve. Money talks. Economic constraints can be a roadblock, but innovative solutions are out there. Bio-based materials are the future. Think beyond concrete! Nature already has the best answers. Tiny living = big lessons. Downsizing to a tiny home teaches invaluable insights about design and intentionality. The future of architecture? Spaces that actively support life, rather than exist.

Who says small architecture firms can't think big? In this episode of ThriveCAST, I sit down with Ryan Short, co-founder of Cotton Architecture , who's proving that small but mighty isn't just a saying - it’s a business strategy. From sketching ideas in high school to leading a firm making waves in healthcare design, Ryan shares how Cotton Architecture is carving out its space - one entrepreneurial doctor at a time. We explore the architecture industry where agility beats bureaucracy, and “building the plane while flying it” isn’t just a metaphor - it’s a Tuesday. Ryan unpacks: Why working with doctors after hours is worth it (even if your social life begs to differ). How they strategically named their firm after a crop - and made it a great story. The art of breaking the news that a dream facility costs more than a small country’s GDP. With a mix of technical expertise and a refreshingly personal approach, Cotton Architecture is proving that great things come in small, well-designed packages. When creating spaces for healing, knowledge and personality should always go hand in hand. Warning: This episode may spark an entrepreneurial itch, an unexpected curiosity about Arizona’s five C’s, and a newfound appreciation for cotton fields. Follow us: Facebook . LinkedIn . X .
