  • Who needs visuals?

    In a world where we can endlessly (soul-lessly?) scroll beautiful interiors and architecture it’s easy to forget the incredible deep thought, emotion and influence on the way we live that good architecture gifts us. Listening to these conversations is so soul enriching that you don’t even need the visuals. Oh, and you’ve also helped a fellow creative realise it’s completely normal to stand and stare at a paint swatch for hours to see how it reacts in different light… thank you.

John Wardle | This Much I Know with Karen McCartney
Q: You are something of a serial renovator, and I wanted to start at the very beginning with your discovery of the original house on this site.

Arent&Pyke | This Much I Know with Karen McCartney
Q: How do you make a place feel like it supports wellness?
By creating joyful spaces that are linked to health, focusing on great light, good ventilation, and clean materials.
