Spotify Podcasts Apple Podcasts

Gavin Hepper, Kitchens and Bathrooms specialist, unpacks how futuristic connected homes (where kitchens can ‘talk’ to bathrooms) are closer than you think. Hear how he uses the “Umbrella Effect” to keeps projects moving, what silica rules mean on-site, designing for ‘A.M/breakfast zone’, and why more clients want multigenerational living. Gavin also previews the latest global trends from Salone del Mobile Milano, the world's #1 design expo - and how they could feature in your next project.

The future is my bathroom's en-suite saying "Good morning Gavin, here's the weather today." My bathroom should speak to my kitchen to say I'd like a strong flat white. We’re getting close.
