During her tenure at Nowness, Claudia commissioned the well-known ‘In Residence’ series, which took us inside the homes of the biggest names in design and architecture. Today, I’m meeting Claudia in her beautiful London home to give her a taste of her own journalistic medicine …She tells me about what it was like to grow up in an English prototype of the American dream, and talks fondly about her ‘impossibly glamorous’ grandparents’ house, which had shagpile carpet, pink loo roll and a telephone next to the sunken bath.We discuss why she prefers to define space with furniture rather than architecture, what happened when she broke her hip and couldn’t get down the stairs, why a home is never truly finished, and the power of procrastination.This episode was recorded at Claudia's home in north west London.For more: Visit <a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/preview/journal/513326/?token=5e7998e74e29b5e841ac00a0edb7868c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Modern House website</a> for images of some the spaces discussed in this episodeCheck out <a href="https://cloakroom-magazine.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cloakroom</a>Production: Hannah Phillips Editing and mixing: Oscar Crawford Graphic Design: Tom Young Music: Father This episode was sponsored by <a href="https://www.vitsoe.com/gb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vitsoe.</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
