Press
Research for our magazine has taken me down some fascinating routes. Yesterday, at the end of our family holiday we visited the new East Quay building in Watchet, UK. We go to Watchet quite often but this was our first trip since the building had finished.
On the drive back to London I discovered Laura Broderick’s podcast where she talks to Georgie Grant from the Onion Collective about their journey to create something for their town. It’s a brilliant story! Give it a listen if you can.
This has been getting quite a bit of attention in the press over the last couple of weeks…
I don’t manage to post every article about our work, but this one did make me chuckle! (Our starburst house in Joshua Tree isn’t built yet.) All being well construction will commence in the spring.
This home made out of tiny units can be built in any configuration and proves prefab architecture doesn't have to be boring
It's terrific to have an article in Business Insider about The Anywhere House. There have been a couple of articles about the Anywhere House in major publications in the last few weeks and we are now in conversation with people from Israel, Egypt, Sweden, Italy, USA, Panama… the list goes on and on. A giant thank you to Mary Meisenzahl for shining a light on a project that I am very proud of, it’s really appreciated.
Business Insider have featured our Starburst House this week. If you visit our instagram feed you’ll see a special little animation that we made for the article that shows the house in a new way!
Giant thanks to Daniel Stockhammer and Hanna Kuzniatsova at the University of Liechtenstein for including our container house in Joshua Tree, California in their book Upcycling: Reuse and Repurposing as a Design Principle in Architecture. It’s a great honour!

Another lovely article about our container house in Joshua Tree on Design Tellers.
A big thanks to Maria Anton Sanz and the team at Container magazine in Mexico for their piece about our Joshua Tree Residence. (Container is an art and design magazine that has nothing to do with the shipping boxes.)
“A good architecture provokes reactions”, this is how our special chat with James Whitaker begins, he is the founding architect of Whitaker Studio, creator of this “contained” house. “I don’t feel excited about buildings that simply do their work. Whether the architectural piece leads to a visceral emotion or there is an intellectual depth in the work, I feel attracted by architecture with certain je ne sais quoi. A work that responds to all the practical demands asked (avoiding rain and heat, for example), but then it is taken further and it becomes an artwork you can live in”.
Here’s the rambling chat that I did this morning on @ArchitectureChat Instagram feed. I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions write in the comments section below and I will try my best to answer them for you.
Hope you’re all staying safe and well!
