- 44 - Pocket House with Tikari Works
In this episode I am joined by the architect Ty Tikari, who founded the London studio Tikari Works with his wife Nicola. We talk about Pocket House, a small home designed on what was formerly a double garage and located on a typical Victorian street in London.
I really like solution-based projects, and this is a classic example of solving, what was in this case, a small plot overlooked on three sides by other houses, to create a house that feels spacious and private. Tikari Works have been experts in turning constraints on their head on this project.
In this case they were so happy with the solutions, originally being developed for the family that owned the plot and lived next door, that part way through the designs, they ended up buying the plot and developing it for themselves to live in with their two children!
At the end of the episode, I ask Ty the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

In this episode I am joined by the architect and builder Horacio Cherniavsky, one of the founders of the Paraguayan studio Equipo De Arquitectura. We talk about La Casa Intermedia, a single storey, one bedroom home in the city of Asunción.
The home as been built on a narrow plot and is characterised by distinct vaulted brick roofs that cover a sequence of spaces. The spaces span the full width of the property and are interspersed with internal courtyards, meaning every room has a double aspect.
What I love about the house is it is very private from the street, but inside reveals an oasis like space that has been carefully put together using local craftsmen and a building process the studio has described as ‘pretty slow and delicate’
At the end of the episode, I ask Tom the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Thu, 23 Feb 2023 - 42 - Costa Rica Treehouse and Rio House with Olson Kundig
In this episode I am joined by the architect Tom Kundig of the Seattle based studio Olson Kundig. We talk about two of their projects, the Costa Rica Treehouse and Rio House.
Costa Rica Treehouse is a property built entirely of locally harvested teak wood. It is inspired by the jungle of its densely forested site on the Pacific Coast and rises above the tree canopy to provide views of the surf at nearby Playa Hermosa beach.
Rio House is a steel and glass box that hovers above the land, supported by two concrete piers. The property provides a discreet hideaway for the owner couple to retreat from the distractions of city life. The elevated living space provides spectacular views of Rio de Janeiro, the sea and the famous Christ the Redeemer statue.
In the interview we discuss the similar and the contrasting themes across the two projects. Both homes are elevated from the ground, designed to respond passively to their environments and are very open to the elements, yet both of them are totally unique to their context and to their owners.
At the end of the episode, I ask Tom the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Wed, 25 Jan 2023 - 41 - Beaconsfield House with Simon Pendal
In this episode I am joined by the architect Simon Pendal. We talk about his project Beaconsfield House.
The home is an extension and renovation of a 1940’s workers cottage, located in the suburbs of the Australian city of Perth. The scheme retains the original cottage fronting onto the street and extends it to the rear with a new extension to create new livings spaces, a master bedroom and a multi-purpose space for the artist owners to display their work.
This is no ordinary extension, however. The new parts have been designed intentionally as a spatial sequence, that unveils itself in a series of sculptural, primitive, cave-like spaces. The existing house is linked to the extension via a huge, upturned boat curved ceiling and the curves and circular forms are repeated in the walls and window openings.
The projected is unexpected in its suburban surroundings and has a hint of Corbusier in its use of material, form and colour.
At the end of the episode, I ask Simon the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Wed, 23 Feb 2022 - 40 - Villa Fifty-Fifty with Studioninedots
In this episode I am joined by the architect Metin Van Zijl of the Dutch architecture practice, Studioninedots. We talk about Villa Fifty-Fifty
Located on the site of a former Phillips factory, in the city of Eindhoven, this project was shortlisted by Dezeen as one of the best houses in the world in 2021. The home breaks the typical mould of house and garden and instead fills the entire, polygon shaped urban plot. Instead of being all solid building however, the outdoor space is given an equal share of the space to interior, with courtyards and patios carved out of the building.
Described by the architects as a new typology for maximising interaction, the building form is one big flat roof with a large circular opening in the middle that has a tree growing out of it. Most of the living spaces are single storey and very public, with glass sides and double, or even triple aspects. Contrasting with these very open glass spaces is a three-storey square metal tower, that penetrates through the roof and contains two children’s bedrooms, stacked one above the other.
The house really does challenge convention and achieves a home that is unique and has certainly inspired some of the projects I have worked on.
At the end of the episode, I ask Metin the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Wed, 09 Feb 2022 - 39 - The Makers House with Loader MonteithIn this episode I am joined by the architect Matt Loader of Loader Monteith Architects. We talk about their latest project, The Makers’ House.
The home is designed for an architect and a ceramicist and is an extension to a Victorian Villa that had previously been subdivided into flats. As designers themselves, the project was a close collaboration between client and architect and has resulted in a beautiful design that manages to sharply contrast a new form with an old building.
Loader Monteith have created a single storey, sloping roof addition to the classically proportioned house that creates a spacious open plan living area with vaulted ceilings, as well as ancillary spaces including a ceramic workshop. In the interview I talk to Matt about the challenges of working in a conservation area and how they carefully balanced their attention between the new and the restoration aspects of the design. We also discuss how they designed the building to be able to be separated into two separate dwellings, ready for downsizing in the future.
At the end of the episode, I ask Matt the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Tue, 25 Jan 2022 - 38 - Haycroft Gardens with Sarah Wigglesworth
In this episode I am joined by the architect Sarah Wigglesworth, and we talk about her latest project, Haycroft Gardens.
This is the first one-off house to be designed by Sarah Wigglesworth architects since Stock Orchard Street, the ground-breaking home and office, a project known by some as Straw Bale house and completed over 20 years ago.
Haycroft Gardens is a home designed on a back land plot in London, that continues the studio’s sustainable agenda. It is designed to passive sustainable principles and to encourage local wildlife habitat, however, it’s the design as a multi-generational home that really sets this home apart.
I talk to Sarah about designing the home for three generations of the same family to live together and about why Sarah thinks designing homes for multi-generational living will become increasingly important. It was a pleasure to interview an architect that has been so influential on how we design for living in the 21st century and I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did.
At the end of the episode, I ask Sarah the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Wed, 15 Dec 2021 - 37 - Pirouette House with WallmakersIn this episode I am joined by the architect Vinu Daniel, founder of Wallmakers. We discuss Pirouette House, a stunning family home in Kerala, India.
The studio is devoted to the cause of using mud and waste to create architecture. This project was designed as a tribute to the British born Indian architect, Laurie Baker, a pioneer of sustainable and organic architecture and an architect often referred to as the ‘Ghandi of Architecture’ for the humanitarian emphasis of his work.
Pirouette house is a sculptural feat, that looks like no other house you will have seen. In the interview Vinu tells me how the twisted and undulating forms were inspired by the movements of a ballet dancer and how he arranged to re-open a disused brick Kiln for one last hurrah to create the distinctive Rat Trap Bond brick walls, a technique invented by Laurie Baker himself.
As well as his project being unique, so are Vinu’s methods and it was great finding out more about his principles, his devotion to the use of waste and to find out how he functions as a so called ‘vagabond’ architect, without an office and moving his design team from building site to building site.
At the end of the episode, I ask Vinu the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Thu, 25 Nov 2021 - 36 - Welcome to the Jungle with CplusC
In this episode I am joined by the architect Clinton Cole, founder of CplusC. We discuss Welcome to the Jungle, a home for Clinton and his family, in Sydney Australia
Described by Clinton as a direct response to the climate emergency facing our planet, the project wears its principles on its sleeve. A whole wall facing the street is made from solar panels, plants cascade out of every other window opening suggesting an overgrown jungle inside, and the building is topped with its own vegetable garden. But this is no normal garden, set on a flat roof. In this design, the metal soil filled planters form the actual roof itself and the produce allows its occupants to be as self-sufficient as possible.
In the interview we discuss the double skin façade that creates space for all the wildlife and functions as a passive thermal layer for the building. We also talk about Clinton’s mantra, that ‘a house is a machine for sustaining life’ and I found out what it is like to live in such a unique home.
At the end of the episode, I ask Clinton the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?I hope you enjoy listening!
Thu, 28 Oct 2021 - 35 - No Mans Land with Hoff Architects
In this episode I am joined by the architect Christine Lara Hoff, director of the Berlin based practice Hoff Architects. We discuss No Mans Land, a 19th Century traditional farmhouse, located in former East Germany, that has been given a new lease of life.
Designed in collaboration with Sierra Boaz Cobb, the project is described by Christine as an architectural ‘palimpsest’, that is, something that is reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form. (yes, I googled it…) The project is a beautiful example of a sensitive reinterpretation of an old building, but I also really wanted to discuss it on the podcast to find out more about its approach to achieving net-zero energy consumption.
In the interview I talk to Christine about the state-of-the-art sustainable interventions she made on this building, how they have seamlessly been integrated into the home and how she worked to retain the original features of the farmhouse.
At the end of the episode, I ask Christine the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?If you would like to find out more about Hoff Architects and the project No Mans Land, you can find information on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com.

Fri, 15 Oct 2021 - 34 - The Rock with Gort Scott
In this episode I am joined by the architect Jay Gort, director of the British practice Gort Scott. We discuss The Rock, a home they have designed for a family of five, overlooking Alta Lake in Whistler, Canada.
The home is conceived as a form, which belongs to the rocky outcrop that it sits on, emerging from it, surrounding it, celebrating it. The design plays with the contrasts between light and dark and openness and enclosure. Living spaces are formed out of concrete blades, that seemingly emerge from the rocky outcrop. The heavy and rough forms of the concrete, forms walls and floors that frame views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The split levels of the living spaces respond to the natural topography of the rock below and are unified by a floating horizon of a textured ceiling above.In the interview, Jay tells me about how he convinced the family to select a UK based architect to design their dream home in Canada, by visiting and getting to know the rocky outcrop intimately. We discuss the process of developing the design and the influences that shaped it and how this incredible house feels to live in now.
At the end of the episode, I ask Jay the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Thu, 30 Sep 2021 - 33 - Shallmar Residence with Studio A/C
In this episode I am joined by Jennifer Kudlats, founder of Canadian practice Studio A/C. We discuss the Shallmar Residence in Toronto, designed for a family of five, with a serious art collection.
The practice describes the project as a house ‘disguised as an art gallery’ They took inspiration from the artists Agnes Martin and Donald Judd when designing the interiors, including a kitchen island composed of 4 monolithic concrete blocks.Although it appears entirely new, the house is actually a renovation of a 1950’s property. The entire ground floor is open-plan, with the space divided by floating walls that don’t touch the perimeter and chunky columns that create a colonnade across the middle. The design results in flowing liveable spaces that flooded with ample natural light and perfect for enjoying the artworks.
At the end of the episode, I ask Jennifer the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?

In this episode I am joined by the recipient of the 2021 Emerging Architect Award at the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada awards, I talk to Anya Moryoussef about her Craven Road Micro House project in Toronto.
‘I don’t need a lot of space, I’m not worried about resale, I just want a house for me’ , this was the simple brief given to Anya by her client Laurel and I love the design she has delivered.
In the interview I find out how Anya fought tooth and nail for her client to get approval for the design, how she worked within a small footprint to create a simple and private living space with plenty of daylight and, how she delivered the project to a modest budget by being smart with material choices.
At the end of the episode, I ask Anya the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?If you would like to find out more about Anya and the Craven Road project you can find information on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com.

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 - 31 - Arijiju with Michaelis Boyd Architects
In this episode I am joined by Alex Michaelis, one of the co-founders of Michaelis Boyd architects. we talk about their project, Arijuju, located in Kenya.
This house has been referred to as the most beautiful bush house in Africa. It is located on the Boranan Lewa Conservancy, a 90,000 acre conservation area in Kenya, and is situated next to a watering hole frequented by elephants, baboons and lions.The concept of the courtyard house is simple, to nestle and merge in the landscape so that it is almost imperceptible, and it has been designed to focus on what Alex describes as, the holy trinity of views, sunrise, sunset and. Mount Kenya.
In the interview I find out how Alex helped the client find the perfect location for the villa, what his influences were for the design and how they constructed this off-grid villa, under the watchful eye of some very curious and hungry animals.
At the end of the episode, I ask Alex the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?If you would like to find out more about Michaelis Boyd, the Arijuju project and some of the references in the interview, you can find information on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com.

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 - 30 - Lower Tullochgrue with Brown and Brown Architects
In this episode I am joined by Andrew Brown of the Scottish architecture studio Brown and Brown, that he co-founded with his wife just over 10 years ago. We discuss their most recent project, Lower Tullochgrue.
The project is an extension and refurbishment of an historic house in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, with amazing views over the Spey Valley. The existing house is set on an outcrop and they have extended it with a black box that cantilevers out over the sloping landscape to create a covered area for the clients 1960’s Ford Falcon.
In the interview we talk about the stunning location, I find out how the builder had a local dis-used quarry re-opened so that they could use stone that matched the original house and how Andrew tells me how Donald Trump’s book ‘the art of the deal’ has been used to create a secret door handle to a concealed downstairs toilet.
At the end of the episode, I ask Andrew the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening!Mon, 02 Aug 2021 - 29 - Lune De Sang Pavilion with Chrofi
In this episode I am joined by John Choi, one of the co-founders of Chrofi architects. We talk about their project, Lune De Sang, located in New South Wales, Australia.
The project is a former dairy farm bought by a couple, who are now ambitiously re-wilding the land with native hardwoods that will take between 50 and 300 years to mature. Chrofi have worked for the couple for over a decade, creating several structures on the land, including sheds for the forestry equipment and most recently the pavilion, which is now the couples permanent residence.Nestled within the landscape, this home has been built to last, and like the hardwood trees they are planting, there is no doubt the home will certainly outlive the couple. This is architecture responding to the idea of a 300yr growth cycle. I enjoyed talking to John about this unique project and finding out what it was like to work with a client with such a long term vision.
At the end of the episode, I ask John the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

In this episode I am joined by Alicia Casals, one of the co-founders of Nomo Studio. We talk about their project, Villa Patio, located on the Spanish island of Minorca.
It is a private residence that is very sculptural in form, the entire villa appears to be carved out of a block of white stone. The design concept is underlined by complex geometrical rules revolving around a pentagon, but don’t worry, this one looks nothing like the one in Washington.
I loved talking with Alicia and finding out about how the studio used geometry to respond to the orientation of the site, by making the most of good views, shielding the bad ones from view and providing protection from the strong Balearic winds. The result of their approach is a beautiful courtyard villa with amazing views of the Mediterranean.
At the end of the episode, I ask Alicia the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 - 27 - UpSideDown House with Collective Works
In this episode I am joined by Siri Zanelli, one of the co-founders of the London based studio Collective Works. We talk about her own home, UpSideDown House, which was completed last year.
It is a refurbishment of a typical Victorian terrace house in London, which has been extended outwards into the garden, upwards into the roof, and downwards into the basement, but what makes this design unique and special is the very bold use of colour for the interiors.
I enjoyed discussing the house with Siri and finding out about what she learnt from being on the client side for once and how working alongside a colour consultant helped her create this special home.
At the end of the episode, I ask Siri the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?If you would like to find out more about Collective Works and their project UpSideDown House, you can find more information on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com, including images and links to some of the references in the interview.

Thu, 17 Jun 2021 - 26 - House Recast with Ben Allen
To celebrate one year of the podcast, we have a special treat. I discuss the house recently named at the Don’t Move improve awards as London’s best new home improvement project. My guest is the architect Ben Allen, founder of Studio Ben Allen and we discuss House Recast.
The project is a reinterpretation and extension of a typical home from the Victorian era, that creates a beautiful sequence of playful spaces, filled with colour, texture, pattern, curved shapes and filtered natural light. The judges described it as a project that ‘pushes the boundaries of how homes can look and feel’.
What is really interesting about this project is the wider themes it explores. Ben has used it as a test bed for ideas about off-site production, not something that is usually explored on small, compact and challenging sites such as this one.
At the end of the episode, I ask Ben the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?If you would like to find out more about Studio Ben Allen and their project House Re-Cast, you can find more information on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com, including images, plans and links to further information.

Thu, 03 Jun 2021 - 25 - Guild with Anais Blehaut of Daab Design
In this episode, I talk to the architect Anais Blehaut, one of the founders of Daab Design about their latest project Guild.
The project is a transformation of a beautiful 18th Century Georgian townhouse in central London. Daab have restored the 5 floor property, which, in its latest incarnation, was being used as a mix of office space and apartments, into a home for a family of seven.
What daab have done to this 260 year old property is beautiful. They have carefully balanced preservation with the needs for modernising by taking a very respectful approach to the challenges of working with an historic building. However, they have managed to balance this with being extremely bold, particularly with colours.
The home is of its place, it could only be in London, but this is the London straight from a movie set; Dickens, Sherlock Homes, I wouldn’t even be surprised if Mary Poppins turned up on the doorstep as the new family nanny.
At the end of the episode, I ask Anais the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?

Wed, 19 May 2021 - 24 - House in a Garden with Gianni Botsford
In this episode, I talk to the architect Gianni Botsford about House in a Garden.
The project is an incredible solution to creating a home on a small, overshadowed and overlooked back garden plot in central London. On his website he describes the project as ‘a house that is a roof and a hole in the ground’. Others have described it as being like an iceberg, with only one floor of accommodation above ground and two below.
The defining visual feature is the roof, a curved, funneled, occulus, like the Pantheon in Rome with a rectangular opening at the top showing only sky. In itself it is a thing of beauty whose shape responds to the natural light conditions on the plot and to protecting views from other neighbours windows. but the hidden magic of this home is how Gianna, through meticulous analysis, has managed to fill two subterranean levels of the home with natural light.
Finding out how he and his team achieved that was fascinating and the completed house has received international recognition and several awards.At the end of the episode, I ask Gianni the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

In this episode, I talk to the Sri Lankan architect Palinda Kannangara about Studio Dwelling, the home and office he has designed for himself in Sri Lanka’s capital city Colombo.
The building sits at the perimeter of wild marshland, on the outskirts of the city, and has been designed as a sequence of dramatic spaces that concentrate the eye on views of the natural landscape that are framed by rich textures of the rugged concrete walls and reclaimed tile floors.
The house has won a number of awards including an RIBA award for international excellence and is an brilliant example of Palinda’s work with form, material, light and views.
At the end of the episode, I ask Palinda the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?If you would like to find out more about Palinda Kannangara and about the Studio Dwelling Retreat, you can find more information on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com.
Wed, 21 Apr 2021 - 22 - Tucson Mountain Retreat with DUST
In this episode, I talk to the architect Cade Hayes, co founder of US architecture studio DUST. We discuss their project Tucson Mountain Retreat, a home constructed of Rammed Earth and located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona.
The single storey home is relatively simple in form, with spaces opening out on to the dry and arid surrounding landscape, but it is the soft tones and the rich texture of the rammed earth, one of the oldest building materials in the world, that make this home really special.
At the end of the episode, I ask Cade the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?If you would like to find out more about DUST and about the Tucson Mountain Retreat, you can find images and links to further information on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com.

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 - 18 - Project Ö Cabin with Aleksi HautamäkiIn this episode I talk to Aleksi Hautamäki who together with his partner Milla has built a remote, off-grid house on a private island in Finland’s Archipelago National Park.
The house comprises two separate, long rectangular cabins containing living quarters, a workshop and a sauna. What is so beautiful about this home is how it nestles naturally into the landscape. If you have ever dreamed of escaping to remote island to live the simple life, this is the place you would want to be.
We talk about how they found the island, what it was like designing and constructing in such a remote location and what it feels like to live in a home that is completely self-sufficient and connected to nature.
At the end of the episode, I ask Aleksi the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

In this episode I talk to Neil Dusheiko, who runs his studio Neil Dusheiko Architects in London. We talk about his recently completed project Sun Slice House.
The home is located in Cambridge, in the UK and is a renovation and extension of an existing semi-detached Victorian property. It was designed for a family to work from home and to home school their children. Considering it was completed at the start of 2020, that was either complete luck or excellent foresight on the behalf of the clients.
Neil has added a single storey brick extension that wraps around the side and the rear of the existing building and creates a stunning new open plan kitchen facing onto the garden.
The companion to the brick extension around the house is the spa building at the end of the garden that is clad in charred timber.
What is really unique about this project is the open plan kitchen space and the roof that slopes up towards the garden with two slices of glass along either length of it. An excellent use of form, natural light and materials.

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 - 16 - Entre Pinos with Taller Hector Barroso
In this episode I talk to Hector Barroso, founder of the Mexican architecture studio, Taller Hector Barroso. We talk about his recently completed project Entre Pinos.
The name literally translates as ‘between pines’ which describes the setting of the five identical dwellings that have been designed near the town of Valle de Bravo in Mexico.
Each house is as a cluster of six blocks that are clad in soil based render (made from the soil from the site) and they are arranged to create a central patio. There is something timeliness about the forms, the materials feel earthy and the natural light is soft and reflects off reflecting ponds that form part of the landscape. For anybody that knows the studio, this is them at their best and it was fascinating talking to Hector about the design.

In this episode I talk to Fiona Dunin, founder of the Melbourne based architecture studio, FMD Architects. We talk about her recently completed project CLT House.
The project is a reconfiguration of an existing building to create a multigenerational home. It takes its name from the material used for its construction, Cross Laminated Timber, which has been celebrated in this house, for its versatility, being used both as a structural material and as the main interior surface finish.
The distinctive feature of the house is the sawtooth profile of the main roof, which creates a great space internally and triangular windows and sharp angular profiles on the exterior.
At the end of the episode, I ask Fiona the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?If you would like to find out more about CLT House, you can see images of the project on the episode page at anotherarchitecturepodcast.com and you can find out more about Fiona and her studio at fmdarchitects.com.au

Thu, 10 Dec 2020 - 14 - House Within A House with Almanac Architects
In this episode I talk to Tristan Wigfall, one of the co-founders of the London based architecture studio, Almanac. We talk about their recently completed project House Within A House.
The project looks like a new house that has been inserted into a Victorian terrace, but it is in fact a renovation of what used to be a rather ugly 1950’s property. Almanac have cleverly concealed the house in an entirely new skin, not only making it bigger and more visually appealing, but also managing to preserve of a lot of materials that would otherwise have gone to landfill.
It is a very inventive project, from a practice that have come to be known for their imaginative ways of working with challenging sites, and with projects like Slim House, In-Betweeny House and Wedge House, they turn convention on its head.
At the end of the episode, I ask Tristan the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 - 13 - No Footprint House with A-01
In this episode I talk to Oliver Schütte, co-founder and director of the interdisciplinary office for design and development A-01 (A Company / A Foundation). We talk about his recently completed project, No Footprint House, which is located in Ojochal, Costa Rica.
The house has received international recognition and numerous awards, including being publicly voted as the best rural house at this year’s Dezeen Awards. Next year, the project will be presented at the Venice Biennale.
It is a prefabricated house, created as a zero carbon home prototype. The form is very distinctive and sculptural, like a minimalist pavilion but with slanted sides and opening louvred wall panels.
The interview was great fun, finding out about designing for a tropical climate and how to create a home with a minimal carbon footprint that can be prefabricated and transported as flat pack on the back of a truck.
At the end of the episode, I ask Oliver the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his project?
– what house has he visited that really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?You can find out more about their work at https://www.a-01.net and on the podcast Instagram.

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 - 12 - Teneriffe House with Vokes and Peters
In this episode I talk to Aaron Peters, one half of the Australian architect duo Vokes and Peters. As a company they have designed numerous award winning houses in and around Brisbane. We talk about the recently completed project, Teneriffe House.
The project can be described as a kind of greatest hits of their work so far, as it embodies so many of their principles and to approach to the design of homes and architecture in the wider sense.
An existing colonial style Queensland home has been raised to sit atop a new concrete colonnaded pediment and has been extended with an angular shingle clad extension to create a stunning and varied home.There is so much going on in this project, journeying through the house is like exploring a well-designed art gallery, with contrasts in materials, in natural light, and in spaces of both prospect and refuge.
At the end of the episode, I ask Aaron the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 - 11 - Litibu Bungalow with Palma
In this episode I talk to Juan Luis of the Mexican architecture practice Palma, about their project the, Litibu Bungalow.
A simple holiday home on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, the bungalow is essentially two rooms constructed out of concrete and separated by a covered courtyard. Each of the two concrete rooms are topped by what can be described as hats constructed out of palm leaves, known as palapa’s.
Me and Juan discus the design, its remote location and the references to modern construction and traditional Mexican building techniques. I love this project for its simplicity and for the striking contrast between the hard lines of the concrete and the fluffiness of the palm leaf rooftops.
At the end of the episode, I ask Juan the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

Sat, 10 Oct 2020 - 10 - Two and a Half Storey House with Bradley Van Der Straeten Architects
In this special Bonus episode of the podcast for Open House, regular host George Bradley switches places and becomes the interviewee for a change, as his co-director Ewald Van Der Straeten does a takeover. Ewald interviews George about their recent project, Two and a Half Storey house.
The house is located in London and was extended to provide an additional bedroom for a growing family. There were limits on how high the property could be extended upwards, so the solution was to add a half-height roof extension and find a clever solution to make the internal spaces work.
The property has recently been shortlisted for a Wood Award, as well as being featured in numerous press publications, including Dezeen. The interview is an opportunity to explore the home through audio, listen to the ideas and influences behind the design and figure out exactly how dynamic living spaces fit into two and a half floors.At the end of the episode, Ewald asks George the three questions he usually asks his podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?

In this special episode for London Open-House 2020 I talk to the architect Sophie Goldhill of London based studio Liddicoat Goldhill about their project, Makers House.
The project was a hit for the 2018 Open House event and received thousands of visitors over one weekend. It received an RIBA award in the same year, was shortlisted for the RIBA home of the year award and the Manser prize as well as receiving a commendation for the Sunday Times home award.
It is a new build home on an overlooked plot in Hackney, London, which has a distinctive asymmetric form externally, at once familiar as a terrace property but equally unique and unusual. The interiors have been personally crafted and all layers of the building and its construction are legible.
Wallpaper described the project as 'uncoventional, yet intuitive' and the Guardian said 'it’s a supreme lesson in getting the most – space, value for money, beauty – from one patch of land'At the end of the interview I ask Sophie the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys her in her home, what home has she visited that has inspired her the most and, if he could choose anyone to design her a house, who would she choose?

I hope you enjoy listening!Tue, 22 Sep 2020 - 8 - North Perth House with Nic Brunsdon
In this episode I talk to the Australian architect Nic Brunsdon about his award winning (and, soon to be featured on Grand Designs Australia) project, North Perth House.
The project is a two storey home built on an in-fill block in the city of Perth. The design of the house is based on a very simple structural arrangement of concrete pre-cast panels with small and large arches cut out of them. Four of these panels are laid out on the ground floor, and then a further four are stacked, perpendicular on the first floor.
This seemingly simple, stacked design, creates an interior that is incredibly rich and complex, with spaces defined by big concrete arches, beautiful walnut joinery and long views.
We chat about how he created the design, what the house is like to live in and the experience of having the Grand Designs film crew following the construction.
At the end of the interview I ask Nic the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys him in his home, what home has he visited that has inspired him and, if he could choose anyone to design him a house, who would he choose?
You can find out more about his work and the project at nicbrusnden.com and on the podcast Instagram.
I hope you enjoy listening!Sat, 12 Sep 2020 - 7 - House of the Big Arch with Ant of Frankie Pappas
In this episode I talk to Ant from Frankie Pappas Architects in South Africa. They have recently been voted as one of the top 20 emerging architects in the world. They describe themselves as a collective and their mantra is ‘wonderfully similar, incredibly different’
Their homes are predominantly located in remote rural areas of South Africa and are nestled and submerge in their surrounding landscapes. They are like no other houses you have ever seen, and actually that’s the beauty of some of them, you can't really see them. Like the people that designed them, they are an enigma.
House of the Big Arch is completely nestled in the trees of a Nature Reserve, with terraces overlooking the surrounding canopy. The entrance is tall and narrow like a trunk and the strange and familiar shapes of the property weave between the trees, like an old Roman ruin, leaving you asking the question, what came first, the building or the foliage? The predominant material is brick in a tone that matches and blends with the surrounding wood. From the air, the property is barely perceptible, from inside, the occupants can enjoy all layers of the forest, with terraces at the same height of the roof canopy.
At the end of the interview I ask Ant the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys him in his home, what home has he visited that has made him feel happy and, if he could choose anyone to design him a house, who would he choose?
I hope you enjoy listening.Thu, 27 Aug 2020 - 6 - Re Use Flat with Tom Raymont of Arboreal Architecture
In this episode I talk to the architect Tom Raymont, who is a co-founder of London based studio Arboreal Architecture, a company that describes itself as an ecological practice. We talk about their award winning Re-Use Flat project in London, which is a transformation of an existing apartment and was designed with the aim of resulting in zero waste.
Construction is wasteful. As an example, the construction industry in the UK contributes a staggering 60% of the UK’s total waste. With Re-Use flat, Arboreal have demonstrated a different way of doing things. The existing wood floor has been used for wall panelling, rubble has been used for garden walls and recycled jeans from France have been used for the insulation.
What I like about the project is that it demonstrates creative and common sense ways to reduce the waste coming out of the construction site, with certain aspects that could easily become mainstream.
At the end of the interview I ask Tom the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys him in his home, what home has he visited that has made him feel happy and, if he could choose anyone to design him a house, who would he choose?Wed, 12 Aug 2020 - 5 - Empire House with Austin Maynard Architects
In this episode I talk to Ray Dinh, design associate at Austin Maynard Architects In Melbourne, Australia. We talk about their amazing, award winning project Empire House.
It is a suburban bungalow, located in Canberra, that has been radically transformed with the addition of two extensions. The additions are pavilions, both separated from the existing building by glass corridors. As well as being physically distinct, they are visually distinct from the host building and clad in zinc shingles.
It is a very unique way of transforming an existing house. The fact they are pavilions means the spaces inside, which are a new bedroom and a new kitchen, are cross lit and cross ventilated and have 360 degree views of the garden.
At the end of the interview I ask Ray the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys him in his home, what home has he visited that has made him feel happy and, if he could choose anyone to design him a house, who would he choose?
Wed, 29 Jul 2020 - 4 - Melissa White Architects

Melissa White architects create beautifully curated homes for families in and around London. We discuss the process of working with people who often have not refurbished or extended a home before, how Melissa builds a dialogue with her clients and I find out about her early influences and fine art background, and what that brings to her work.
At the end of the interview I ask her the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys her in her home, what home has she visited that has made her feel happy and, if she could choose anyone to design her a house, who would she choose?
Wed, 15 Jul 2020 - 3 - Terrarium House with John Ellway
In this episode I talk to the architect John Elway about the design of his own home, Terrarium House, a plant filled property that defines inside outside living.
It is a renovation and extension of a typical bungalow in Brisbane, Australia, but from the street frontage all does not appear normal. The façade is a tangle of vines with a secret front door.
I talk to John about the plant filled spaces that lie within and how he designed this beautiful home for himself and his family.
At the end of the interview I ask him the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys him in his home, what home has he visited that has made him feel happy and, if he could choose anyone to design him a house, who would he choose?
Tue, 30 Jun 2020 - 2 - Cork House with Matthew Barnett Howland
In this episode I am joined by Matthew Barnett Howland, the designer, builder and owner of the amazing Cork House.
This is the first building to ever be built using cork as the main structural material. The house has received international recognition as well as being shortlisted for the Stirling Prize and winning the Manser Prize in 2019.
Not only is it uniquely made out of Cork, but the building is constructed entirely from plant based materials and completely demountable, using no glues to hold it together.
I catch up with him to find out how the designs for the house were developed, how the project was designed to be entirely demountable and what it's like to live in a house made out of cork.
At the end of the interview I ask him the three questions I ask all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys him in his home, what home has he visited that has made him feel happy and, if he could choose anyone to design him a house, who would he choose?Tue, 16 Jun 2020 - 1 - WOWOWA Architects with Monique and Scott Woodward
In this episode I am joined by architects Monique and Scott Woodward, founders of Melbourne based studio, WOWOWA Architects.
If Willy Wonka ever needed to commission an architect to design him a house, this is the team he would choose. Different, rule breaking, lick-able and yummy are all words that can be used to describe their work.
I catch up with them to find out how they create some of their incredible houses, discuss why narrative is important in their work and find out why they think life is too short for boring spaces.
At the end of the interview I ask them the three questions I am asking all of my guests; what is the one thing that annoys them in their home, what home have they visited that has made them feel happy and, if they could choose anyone to design them a house, who would they choose?Sun, 31 May 2020
