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.

    S2 Ep 12 - Kate Hulett The Culture Creator

    We all want our cities and our neighbourhoods to be better, but what can we do about it? Tim and Kev head to Fremantle in Western Australia to meet Kate Hulett, a community-minded individual who isn’t afraid to step up and have a crack at making change. She’s passionate about Fremantle and her state and, with great positivity, advocates for better housing, more thoughtful and sustainable development, more public space, and a city that works for the people who live in it. She’s a very good human.

    S2 Ep 11 - John Wardle The Collector

    Tim and Kevin take a road trip down to Anglesea, on Victoria’s Surf Coast, to visit architect John Wardle at Burnt Earth Beach House, his award-winning holiday home. Described by his peers as “the architect’s architect”, John is the recipient of the Gold Medal, Australian architecture’s highest honour. He’s also a collector of things, people and ideas, and this is on full display as he not only opens up his house but his curious mind in this revealing conversation about why craft still matters, why his house is full of op shop treasures, and why designing good houses can be so difficult. You really should be listening by now :) John Wardle is an internationally renowned architect and the founder of Wardle, which has studios in Sydney and Melbourne. The work of Wardle is tailored to place and highly experiential in nature. Diverse in scale and typology, its portfolio spans domestic dwellings, university and healthcare buildings, museums and large commercial offices. The practice has won national and international awards for education, residential and civic design. John speaks regularly at national and international conferences. He maintains strong ties to the Australian arts community and academia. He is an adjunct professor at the University of South Australia, and an honorary professorial fellow in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne. Burnt Earth Beach House combines material invention, experimentation and collaboration with accomplished placemaking. This is a multi-generational home that utilises terracotta in two primary forms – through the exterior brickwork, and internally to line walls, floors and joinery elements. The broadly cruciform plan describes view lines and daylight ingress precisely. Facing north, the views are to the Southern Ocean and the surrounding landscape. The governing lines of the plan mark the centre point of the ‘X’ as the island kitchen bench. It is both literally and figuratively the heart of this home. From here, all social activity spills out into living and dining areas on the ground floor. The colour and tonality of the cliff edges in Anglesea are expressed in the use of an invented brick. The extensive process involved extrusion and hand-tearing the brick surface prior to cutting, which exposes a raw, rough-hewn texture. A series of glazing experiments applied to raw clay before single firing are revealed in different sections of the building. Unglazed bricks blend with green and brown glazed bricks, which broadly align with the extensive planting of coastal banksias surrounding the property. Spotted gum timber is used carefully in varying formats – recycled (flooring), veneer (joinery) and sparingly as solid (windows and revealed structure in areas). The robust natural materials of the limited palette are durable and will weather to a natural tonality.

    S2 Ep 10 - Alright Governor?

    What’s the most impressive thing you can do for an overseas visitor? Wrangle them an invite to the official residence of the Governor-General? That’s exactly what Tim managed to do for Kevin. In this very special episode, they take a tour of Admiralty House and sit down with the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC. The conversation is a relaxed one, a testament to Sam’s vision to modernise the role of the Governor-General and her desire to open the residence to as many Australians as possible. Which well-known Australian randomly turned up in the garden? This, and many other questions, are answered in a conversation full of optimism, a celebration of kindness, and the enduring warmth of the Australian spirit.

    S2 Ep 9 - Marsala House Iwan Iwanoff

    Kevin on the dance floor? The ultimate 1970s party house is on the menu as Tim and Kev hit the Perth suburb of Dianella to visit one of the city’s most talked-about homes. Designed by Bulgarian-born architect Iwan Iwanoff in 1976, the Marsala House is a sculptural, concrete-block Brutalist wonderland that boasts a Saturday Night Fever-style dance floor. The current owner, Greg, flings open the doors to reveal the stories of this iconic house. Iwan Iwanoff (1919–1986) was a Bulgarian-born architect who trained in Munich before emigrating to Western Australia in 1950, where he worked with Krantz & Sheldon and later established his own practice in 1963. Known primarily for residential work, his early designs were influenced by post-war modernism, but from the mid-1960s he developed a distinctive, sculptural style using modelled concrete blockwork. Combining expressive forms with rational planning, his later houses - such as the Marsala and Tomich houses - read as bold works of architecture that verge on abstract sculpture. There’s a couple of great Iwanoff books:Perth born photographer Jack Lovel has documented many of his homes in this excellent publication – Catching Light – robinboyd.org.au/product/catching-light Warren Anderson definitive Iwanoff book is a must read – The Architecture of Iwan Iwanoff – crowbooks.com.au To view images from this episode, head to our Instagram page - @big_design_adventureAnd be sure to follow Tim Ross (@modernister) and Kevin McCloud (@kevin.mccloud1)We’d love to hear from you, reach out to us on hello@bigdesignadventure.comKnow someone who would love this podcast?

    S2 Ep 8 - The Society Architect

    Enter stage left: Neil Clerehan, the Melbourne architect who helped bring modernism to the suburbs - and a handsome, charming raconteur who waltzed his way through Melbourne society. A talented writer, his wit found a regular home in newspapers for much of his life. In this very special conversation, Tim and Kevin head to the leafy inner-city suburb of South Yarra to sit down with Neil’s daughter, Esther. With inherited wit and razor-sharp precision, she shares the fantastical tales of his life with warmth, wonder and at times, good-natured, sheer disbelief. “In Australia, no one has continued to write in the popular press in the way that Clerehan has, where he has been able to recall - always with the brevity and wicked humour of Waugh or Wilde - the zenith and nadir of professional and popular tastes of successive generations.” Phillip Goad.

    S2 Ep 7 - Patty Hopkins

    What happens when two young architects build their own home with little money but plenty of ideas? Tim and Kev head to London’s Hampstead to visit Patty Hopkins, one of Britain’s most influentialarchitects and the co-founder of Hopkins Architects, the practice she started with her late husbandMichael in 1976. For this very special interview she opens the doors to the iconic glass and steel home the pair designed for themselves that same year. It remains one of the most compelling residential examples of High-Tech architecture, a style that celebrates technology by exposing structural elements like steel frames, ducts and services as part of the design. In 1994 Patty became only the third woman to receive the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture from theRoyal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and in this intimate conversation she shares the story of herradical house, the practice she built with Michael, and the quiet wisdom that comes from a life inarchitecture.  You can read more about the house here – hopkins.co.uk Here’s a great new book about High Tech British architecture: High Tech Britian – c20society.org.uk And the video Tim and Kevin talk about by Ned featuring Nick Grimshaw can be found via this link: Vimeo To view images from this episode, head to our Instagram page - @big_design_adventureAnd be sure to follow Tim Ross (@modernister) and Kevin McCloud (@kevin.mccloud1)We’d love to hear from you, reach out to us on hello@bigdesignadventure.comKnow someone who would love this podcast?

    S2 Ep 6 - The Queenslander

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

    Tim and Kev head to Melbourne to visit Ben Shewry, the chef behind the world-famous restaurant Attica, who lives in the 1966 home designed by émigré architect Ernest Fooks. Ben, who has a deep passion for architecture and design, had long admired the house from afar, but he never thought he’d actually own it. In this episode, he not only flings open the door to his incredible heritage-listed home, but he shares the story of how he ended up living in his dream mid-century modern home. A natural storyteller, Ben effortlessly draws parallels between cooking and architecture, and reveals his long-standing passion for chair collecting in this wide-ranging chat in one of Melbourne’s finest houses.
