What happens when award-winning architect Shaun Lockyer designs his own home? Discover his 80/20 design rule, client dynamics, and creating spaces that make your heart sing.
In this episode of TALKdesign, I sit down with my good friend Shaun Lockyer (Principal of Shaun Lockyer Architects and AIA Fellow) inside his personal Brisbane sanctuary, Judy's House. Together, we explore what it truly takes to craft a home that supports the way you live, calms the inner critic, and reflects your personal story.
From viewing design as \"beautiful maths\" to the 33% project equation, Shaun shares 30 years of wisdom on why great design is about human connection, intentional details, and letting go of ego to create something enduring.
