In this episode of the In The House Podcast, a construction podcast hosted by Lonnie and

Michael, they sit down with John Hudson, founder of 100 Fold Studio, to talk about the myth of

the "starchitect" and how his faith has shaped a major philosophy in his work: listen before you

draw.

John designed ultra-high-end residences throughout the Southeast before starting his own firm. A

month before his first major project was to be completed, a fire razed the building to the ground.

He walks through how that loss, the 2008 recession, and years designing for underserved

communities in Cambodia, Nigeria, and the Himalayas reshaped how he practices architecture —

and led him to found 100 Fold Studio, a studio driven to share the gospel and demonstrate God's

redeeming love through the buildings it designs, while training the next generation of architects

and serving some of the poorest people groups in the world.

John points to Proverbs 18:13 — "to answer before listening is folly and shame" — as the

conviction behind it all. It's why 100 Fold's architects put their pencils down and sit with a

client's or a community's story before they ever start drawing.

Whether you are a builder, an architect, a designer, or a homeowner planning your own build,

this episode is about the one skill that separates good design from great design.
