Joined by Michael Jones (The Portman Estate) and Joe Mac Mahon (Gort Scott), Dan explores how the design was led not by trends — but by the Estate’s core values.

Together, they discuss values-led design, the weaving of heritage into a modern scheme, the balance between preservation and intervention, and how a simple kitchen became the heartbeat of the workplace.
