Are you looking to renovate or build a new home and have considered using an architect but don’t know where to start? The best way to truly appreciate the benefits of engaging an architect is to hear straight from the architects and clients themselves, and in the homes they’ve created together.

The Naked Architect arms consumers with in-depth knowledge about working with an architect on a residential renovation and/or new build. Hear about the architect/client experience of the design process and working together.

Series 4

The Rexroth Mannasmann Collective and Fowler and Ward along with their clients invite you to step inside the doors of their projects – dark house and Smith House.

S4 E1: dark house - watch now

dark house is a collaboration that responds to the garden-set suburban villa typology, the restoration of the existing dilapidated building fabric, sustainability considerations and the client’s present and future life stages.

Entry way of the Smith House, brick archway.

S4 E2: Smith House - watch now

Smith House provides access to sunshine in the living spaces and maintains the garden. The project demonstrates how working within an existing envelope and embracing character results in a delightful way of living without rebuilding.
