MASTERCLASS PROGRAMME

This 4 week Masterclass will help you to understand how your living environment affects you, and how to navigate making changes to the spaces you inhabit.

With Robert’s expertise, you will be taken on a journey of how to look at your home and understand how internal layouts and spatial organisation can impact on day to day living, and how this affects the health and wellbeing of those sharing the intimacy of home. Robert will illustrate by analysis and critique of your drawings and projects, how to understand spatial relationships within the home and what you can do to create an environment that can nourish and support you and your loved ones. Whether an apartment building, terrace housing, semi-detached, detached or unusual hybrid living environment, Robert will illustrate ways of modifying, reimagining and rethinking how you live and what it means to find harmony in your home and on your budget, modest or grand.

This Masterclass series is a response to emails, questions and comments Robert has received from you as well as the experiences working with current clients and collaborators. These topics have been broad as well as specific and have included his fundamental views on architecture, planning, self-building, site selection and material specification; matters pertaining to the current construction industry, design and architecture profession, planning system, building practices, climate challenges, education system, socio-political and financial outlook. All against the backdrop of many paradigm shifts over the past few years the navigation of which will determine what the future might look like.

Robert will help you get clarity on why you are facing these challenges and how to navigate necessary change.

The weekly programme will take place at 6pm BST on:
