Tim and Kev head to Brisbane to meet architect John Ellway, who has quietly built a reputation for
transforming one of Australia’s most iconic house types - the Queenslander.

Working almost entirely in his own neighbourhood, John carefully adapts these classic timber-and-tin
homes so they can handle contemporary living while still embracing the subtropical climate that shaped them.

Recorded in his own inventive house, John is one of a number of local architects responsible for some of the most exciting Australian architecture of recent years. In a typically laid-back Brisbane manner, he unpacks the thinking behind his work and explains why relationships with clients are central to his
practice.

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.
