Episode 15 - CLT House with FMD Architects

In this episode I talk to Fiona Dunin, founder of the Melbourne based architecture studio, FMD. We talk about her recently completed project CLT House.

The project is a reconfiguration of an existing building to create a multigenerational home. It takes its name from the material used for its construction, Cross Laminated Timber, which has been celebrated in this house, for its versatility, being used both as a structural material and as the main interior surface finish.

The distinctive feature of the house is the sawtooth profile of the main roof, which creates a great space internally and triangular windows and sharp angular profiles on the exterior.

At the end of the episode, I ask Fiona the three questions I ask all my podcast guests;
– what really annoys her about her home?
– what house has she visited that has really inspired her?
– and, if she could choose anyone to design her a new house, who would she choose?
