Jag har nu gjort 10 avsnitt av Architecture Talks och jag har fått in massor av frågor angående hur hela processen ser ut från att man anlitar en arkitekt till att man har ett färdigt hus. Tillsammans med Anders Holmberg, grundare, ägare och kreativ chef på Anders Holmberg Arkitekter, ska vi nu besvara dessa frågor. Vad kostar ett hus? Hur får man så mycket design som möjligt för sina pengar? Hur förhöjer man ett rum? Vad är det som brukar gå fel? Och varför ska man ens anlita en arkitekt? De här frågorna och massor av anant disskuterar jag tillsammans med Anders Holmberg i dagens avsnitt.
