Chris Laumer-Giddens is an Atlanta-based architect, builder, and building scientist known for designing ultra-airtight, durable, and healthy homes. With decades of hands-on experience in construction and HVAC design, he champions simple, robust “perfect enclosure” detailing, vapour-open assemblies, and well-considered mechanical systems. His work is grounded in a clear philosophy: control air and moisture at the envelope to create homes that are comfortable, mould-free, and built to last—while helping the industry avoid unnecessary complexity and poor building practices.
