In the fifth episode of our Design Your Life Architecture Series - From Lego to Skyscrapers, we speak to the founder of Smart Design Studio - William Smart. 

William is behind some of the most iconic public and private buildings in Australia, from Chippendale’s Central Park precinct to Judith Neilson’s award-winning home, Indigo Slam.

At each pivotal moment of William's life and career, we discuss the creative influences that shaped his distinct voice in design: from his country up-bringing to a gentle nudge from a university professor, to the culture and nightlife of European living and his unwavering love of mid-century cars.

And how a knock on his door from Judith Neilson opened the creative opportunity of a lifetime.
