Toby Witte speaking at AIA’s Aspire 2025

Toby will share the insights from his book Supersizing Bliss at the 2025 Aspire conference hosted by the American Institute of Architects in Asheville, NC.

Less than 2% of single-family homes involve an architect, leading to designs neglecting emotional and physical wellbeing. Toby Witte, founder of Wittehaus and author of Supersizing Bliss, examines how industry practices strip homes of character and comfort. He will present actionable design principles to restore homes as spaces of wellbeing, elevating quality of life and reinforcing the vital role of residential architects. Participants will gain insights into creating healthier, more supportive living environments while addressing the economic and social forces shaping housing. This session highlights how thoughtful design can counter industry efficiency with humanity.
