Eleanor Rice is the Houses Editor of Enki Magazine. Enki Magazine was launched by Charlotte Coward-Williams in 2018. Since then, Enki has disrupted the print market with a highly-curated magazine that unites architecture and interiors with sustainable living. It is the ultimate coffee-table mag beloved by both those in and out of the design industry.  As a cherished destination for many of the best residential projects, I wanted to invite Eleanor on to share some of the inner-workings of how projects are selected for print. We also discussed what she looks for in publishable architectural photography and styling, the history and positioning of Enki in the market, and the planning and production process for an Enki issue.
