Duncan McLeod: the emotional story of an architect whose home is a source of magic and motivation

<p>I’ve known Duncan for many years now and he’s definitely one of the good guys. We first met when I was commissioned to write a piece for&nbsp;<em>The World of Interiors&nbsp;</em>about the amazing home in west London he shares with his wife, Lyndsay Milne McLeod, and their son, Oban. Duncan’s kindly invited me back to the house to record this episode. He tells me about how growing up on building sites brought him close to his father, the importance of magic in architecture and why he believes you should always design a house as if you’re playing hide-and-seek in it. Duncan certainly isn’t the first guest to shed a tear or two on this podcast and I think this is a really lovely, heartfelt conversation.</p><br><p>For more:</p><p>Check out Studio McLeod's <a href="https://studiomcleod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">latest work</a></p><p>Visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/preview/journal/497393/?token=f4a4e81a457d83531d4c7aa74d8c061b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">our website</a> for images of places discussed, and to read our <a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/journal/architecture-for-wellbeing-duncan-mcleod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">interview</a> with Duncan McLeod</p><p>Sign up to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Modern House newslette</a>r for weekly interiors inspiration</p><br><p>Production: Hannah Phillips</p><p>Editing and mixing: Oscar Crawford</p><p>Graphic Design: Tom Young</p><p>Music:&nbsp;<a href="https://wearefather.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Father</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
