SEAN GODSELL

In my previous podcast, I had a very interesting guest, Sean Godsell, an architect who, since he never agreed to conform to the dominant and strongly homogenizing tendencies of a globalized architecture, is mostly described as a free-spirited rebel. This resolute position, that sees him not accepting compromises, does not arise from a presumptuous self-referentiality but from the profound conviction of a respect due to the context in which the project will be shaped. His statements, not sharing stereotyped expressions, make use of lexical elements that never betray the original inspirational source, adapting to a syntax prescribed by the topographical, climatic and cultural situation.

Charles House by Austin Maynard Architects

Design thinking is what the clients asked of Austin Maynard Architects when they commissioned their home. A house that would provide all their needs for the next twenty-five years, new generations included. ### 1:12684:2:1:130342:para Austin Maynard Architects, an Australian studio, has designed Charles House. A design house in the purest sense of the word. It is a project designed with a time span of twenty-five years, able to provide everything necessary for family members of all ages. Charles House is a family home that is able to adapt to children and grandparents when they are too old to be alone. It is a multi-generational house, whose design required a great deal of skill. The flexibility of the spaces is at the basis of the design, and this is why all the rooms in Charles House can be opened or closed off according to the age of the inhabitants, their functions and the different needs of space. Austin Maynard Architects has also introduced sustainable energy, which will allow a great deal of energy saving over time.
