Episode 11: Charlie Luxton’s pencil…

This is our last episode before Christmas, so we’ve decided to see out 2019 with a very special interview with architectural designer and TV presenter Charlie Luxton.

You may know Charlie from his TV presenting shows Modern British Architects, Build a New Life In The Country, Homes by the Sea, and Building the Dream. But he is also a very accomplished designer and his company specialises predominantly in sustainable living projects around the UK.

As you’ll hear, he’s a fascinating guy, very knowledgeable, very good company and absolutely passionate about the part the design industry can and must play in tackling climate change.

We talk about:

  • How he first discovered a love for design
  • Where kitchens and bathrooms fit into his design process
  • How his designs fit and blend into their environment
  • How sustainability needs to be the single biggest driver in design projects
  • How he designed his own home – including the kitchen and bathrooms

We also talk about Kitchen George and his tractor collection, his love of imported Japanese pencils, and how no client would want monkey death on their conscience…

Go and check out his website – charlieluxtondesign.com – to see some of the projects he’s been involved with including, of course, the kitchens and bathrooms they contain.

That’s it for 2019 though, I hope you’ve enjoyed this first run of the Kitchen & Bathroom Design Podcast, we’ll be back in January 2020. Please subscribe to us wherever you get your podcasts to make sure you don’t miss that first episode of 2020 when it comes out.
