Summary
Josh Oqueli is an architect, builder, and the founder of Bonsai Design + Build, an architect-led firm specializing in high-performance buildings. A firm proponent of "once you learn it, you can't unlearn it," Josh went down the rabbit hole early in his career and has never looked back, leaving code-built standards firmly behind him. In this episode, we talk about Josh's journey from biotecture to Passive House, why design-build is well-suited to high-performance projects, how adding an owner's rep service to their offerings has further streamlined the process for clients, and the benefits of having a Passive House office.
