Architects Own Homes Revisited

It is in the design of architects' own homes where abstract architectural ideas, creativity and innovation can be pursued unencumbered by the constraints and demands of clients. However, through the realisation of their abstract concepts, it is the architect who then has to live with the manifestation of their imagination.

The Schüco/Architecture Today webinar Architect's Own Houses Revisited explored the thoughts and motivations behind the recent renovations of self-built houses by architects Sarah Wigglesworth and Piers Taylor.

Some architects want to build their own home because it allows them a purity of vision that a commercial project does not. Others might want to pursue a particular technical or design idea. The appeal might lie in the opportunity to explore new materials or pursue new business opportunities. Equally, a self-build project might simply be an chance to get hands-on with the construction process.
