Michael White is the co-founder of Freadman White Architects, along side his partner in life and work - Ilana Freadman. Michael is a driven architect and for Freadman White, architecture isn't just about the built form, it's also about the human response to the architecture itself, the experience and atmosphere it creates - thoughtful modulations in light and shade, proportion, function and flexibility are expressed through uncompromising construction, enduring materials and a minimal, yet warm, aesthetic which can then evoke that human response.

 

In this episode, your host Elizabeth McIntyre and special guest, Michael White will explore the spaces he found the most inspiring through life, and the ins and outs of working with your life partner.
