Another Architecture Podcast

The spaces that we live in have an enormous impact on our lives. Every fortnight join architect George Bradley as he interviews architects from around the world to find out how they create inspirational places to live.

If you are interested in house design, are planning a project of your own or just love good architecture, then this is the podcast for you.

At the end of every episode, George will be asking his guests the same three questions; what really annoys them about their home, what house have they visited that has made them feel happy and if they could choose anyone to design them a house, who would they choose?

George Bradley is a director of London based studio Bradley van Der Straeten Architects. A description of the first three episodes is below.

In episode 01, George is 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.

George catches 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.

In episode 02, George is 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.

George catches 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.

In episode 03, George talks 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.

George talks to John about the plant filled spaces that lie within and how he designed this beautiful home for himself and his family.

Other episodes include Makers House in London, with Liddicoat Goldhill, House of the Big Arch in South Africa with Frankie Pappa's and North Perth House with Nic Brunsden.
