Meet Richard Holland, Co-Founder and Director of Holland Harvey Architects, who is pioneering a new era in socially and environmentally designed buildings. Some of the studio's recent projects, explored in this episode of DESIGN POD, are, put simply, changing the game in this new era of meaningful hospitality, design and architecture.

The episode, hosted by Hamish Kilburn, sponsored by Geberit and produced by Mel Yates, explores the significance of working with hospitality brands that truly understand the value in developing around communities and being environmentally aware throughout – not just using sustainability as a veneer.

Richard's approach is to 'elevate the everyday', pursuing quality and authenticity and designing with narrative - and around people - to ensure design tells a meaningful story. The studio's clients, ranging from hotel brands such as Inhabit Hotels and charities like Shelter From The Storm, believe in design to strengthen their brand and achieve their goals.

DESIGN POD, which drops new episodes every two weeks, is a podcast brought to you by Hotel Designs.
