The Eye That Shaped a Skyline

In this episode, Lyssia sits down with Kobi Karp, a legendary Miami-based architect whose firm has designed over $36 billion in buildings across the world, from luxury resorts and residential towers to affordable housing and historic restorations. With more than 30 years of shaping the Miami skyline and beyond, Kobi brings a perspective on architecture that goes far deeper than what any building looks like on the outside.The conversation breaks down why the way a building sits on its land, orients itself to light, and moves you through its spaces matters more than any finish, material, or aesthetic choice. They explore why most people focus on the wrong things when designing or renovating a home, how natural light does something for your psychology that no renovation can replicate, and why the buildings that last hundreds of years all share one thing in common, they were designed for how life actually feels, not just how it looks. Kobi also shares what decades of designing across six continents has taught him about what people everywhere truly want from their spaces, and the one thing he would tell anyone to do first if they want their home to feel better without spending a dollar.By the end of this episode, you may start to see every building differently, not just as something that was constructed, but as something that was felt first.More Room to Think: Kobi Karp Website: www.kobikarp.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kobikarp/ Room to Think: https://roomtothinkpodcast.com/Loved this episode?
