If there was ever a time for getting lost in a good podcast it’s now, and for design-lovers, interior nerds and architecture buffs, ours makes for essential listening – take a dive into Korean aesthetics and Belgium minimalism with Rosa Park, founder of Cereal magazine, or embark on a tour of the Isokon Building penthouse, an early modernist masterpiece in north London, with Tom Broughton, the founder of modern spectacle brand Cubitts.
And now, in our just-released new episode, architectural designer Jonathan Tuckey shares his top three living spaces: Ricardo Bofill’s La Fábrica near Barcelona, Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Croatia, and Sir John Soane’s house overlooking Lincolns Inn Fields in London – tune in here.
That Tuckey’s
choices are all either ancient, historic or originally intended as
non-residential spaces should give you a good idea of what sort of architecture
his Hammersmith-based practice puts out. In fact, Tuckey says his studio would
actively turn down a new-build project, preferring instead to work with
pre-existing buildings, the constraints of which he says produce more creative
and beautiful results.
It’s a convincing argument, not least when you visit a Tuckey-designed space, as we have done over the years, selling several of his projects including Providence Chapel, a Grade II-listed Baptist church turned modern living space in Wiltshire, and Yard House, a courtyard-facing family home in Dulwich made from a material palette that’s reflective of the site’s previous life as a light industrial unit. And we’ve long admired his own home, aptly named Collage House for its harmonious blending of a 19th-century steel fabricator with a contemporary design language, which Tuckey also expands upon in this episode.
