Two mates, Tim Ross — comedian, broadcaster, and self-described design nerd — and Kevin McCloud — pundit, writer and celebrated host of Grand Designs — have teamed up for a new podcast: Tim and Kev’s Big Design Adventure.

 

In this audio escapade, the architectural enthusiasts embark on a rollicking (and occasionally shambolic) journey, sharing their love of design by visiting buildings that inspire them, meeting the people who create or inhabit them, and diving deep into the places that shape and spark their imaginations.

Big Design Adventure

S2 It’s A Bonus Episode

Tim and Kevin head to Perth to meet businesswoman, arts patron and National Living Treasure Janet Holmes à Court AC inside her extraordinary private gallery housed in a former paint factory.

Janet’s gallery is open to the public and her belief that art should be seen by everyone is central to the generosity she shows as an indefatigable champion of the arts in Australia.

This is an illuminating conversation about the intersection of art and architecture, the unique nature of Western Australian culture, and then some totally random stuff that is also going to make you happy.

Janet is fab. You will love her.

S2 Ep 15 - Art and Architecture Janet Holmes à Court AC

Tim and Kevin head to Canberra to meet architect Shannon Battison, a former President of the Australian Institute of Architects, who spent a considerable amount of time designing the perfect home for her family.

Then she threw a rather large spanner in the works and bought them a new one — a 1970s experimental house designed by her mentor.

To make matters worse, it’s quite small and needs substantial repairs, or, to be more precise, it’s partially falling down.

What’s driven her to take this on? Which member of her household talked her into it? Is this both the best and worst thing she’s ever done?

And why do iconic houses seem to hypnotise people and leave them powerless to their charms?

This is your chance to find the answers to these questions and more.

You can follow the restoration journey of Rivendell on Shannon's Instagram - @_studio.sdb

S2 Ep 14 - The Hypnotic Charm of an Iconic House

There’s quite a large amount of your emails in the Manila folder, and it’s time to get through them. We have questions, corrections and some rather bonkers observations.

We are also looking to launch the most ridiculous extension to the podcast that anyone could imagine. A rather large small clue is in the graphic above.

Rate, subscribe and give yourself a high five.
