“A house is so many more things than just the bricks and mortar. It’s a backdrop for your life.”

Albert Hill is the founder of the Modern House—an estate agency with a difference.  One which is in the matchmaking business of finding sympathetic buyers for the most interesting houses in the UK.

In our conversation, we discuss Albert's career and transition from a Wallpaper* journalist to the property business owner and his memories of the Six Pillars House in Dulwich. We also dive into the ins and outs of creating a thoughtful brand and the market value of a well-designed property - from the Cube House by Carl Turner to Ross Lovegrove’s home and studio.
