Our Milan map is here! It’s the only guide you’ll need to navigate the hundreds of events and exhibitions taking place all over the Italian city. Sign up for it via the link in bio.
As all I’m doing right now is staying home and writing about houses (book coming very soon), here’s one I actually visited in person back in 2018 and never posted for some bizarre reason. Shows how bad I am at Instagram! If you don’t know it, it’s Peter Zumthor’s Secular Retreat for Living Architecture (@livingarchitectureuk ) and it’s a corker. But damn was it a labour of love
New year, new portraits! A huge thanks to @louadby_commercial for making me feel so at ease on a chilly December afternoon. I highly recommend to anyone in need of some new pics!
Me on a chair… it’s the Cubist Chair by Æther/Mass (@aether_mass ) on show as part of This is Not a Garden Party, an exhibition by MAD Brussels (@mad.brussels ) during Frieze week

A decade of chairs by Max Lamb, exhibited at his home and studio in Harrow-on-the-Hill in the third edition of Exercises in Seating. We dropped in on the opening weekend, but only just posting now, soz ;)
Imagine slicing through a concrete floorplate and hoisting it up to become a staircase. That’s exactly what happened at Thoravej 29, a groundbreaking adaptive reuse project designed by Pihlmann Architects. I had the pleasure of visiting last month during the inaugural Copenhagen Architecture Biennial (excuse the latergram, I’ve been busy 😂)
This is the second of the two designs we judges picked to win the Slow Pavilions competition, for the inaugural Copenhagen Architecture Biennial (@copenhagenarchitecturebiennial ), and one that was a real labour of love for designers Tom Svilans (@tsvilans ) and THISS Studio (@thiss.studio ). Barn Again is built from the wood of three disassembled Norwegian barns, reimagined in a new form of assembly. Props to the team for an epic build that took far longer than expected, but resulted in something very special. And also a shoutout to my good friend Ed Milton (@ejmilton ), whose beautiful Censer incense holders provide the calming scents inside
