House Within a House – Another Architecture Podcast

In this episode George talks to Tristan Wigfall, one of the co-founders of the London based architecture studio, Almanac. They talk about their recently completed project House Within A House.

The project looks like a new house that has been inserted into a Victorian terrace, but it is in fact a renovation of what used to be a rather ugly 1950’s property. Almanac have cleverly concealed the house in an entirely new skin, not only making it bigger and more visually appealing, but also managing to preserve of a lot of materials that would otherwise have gone to landfill.

It is a very inventive project, from a practice that have come to be known for their imaginative ways of working with challenging sites, and with projects like Slim House, In-Betweeny House and Wedge House, they turn convention on its head.

At the end of the episode, George asks Tristan the three questions he asks all his podcast guests;
– what really annoys him about his home?
– what house has he visited that has really inspired him?
– and, if he could choose anyone to design him a new house, who would he choose?
