At Home with Architecture

Designed to Dwell

What makes a home truly special? Not in terms of scale or cost, but through a thoughtful response to site, materials and the way people live. This episode looks at homes that feel deeply connected to their environment, places where restraint, craft and clarity come together to create something lasting. It’s a chance to reflect on the houses Edwards White have created that couldn’t exist anywhere else, and the thinking behind them.

Civic Intent

Civic projects don’t just serve a function, they express shared values. This episode explores how Edwards White approaches architecture as a public act, celebrating the contribution thoughtful design can make to Kirikiriroa/Hamilton’s identity, vibrancy and future. From Victoria on the River to upcoming civic work, we hear how long-term thinking and collaborative vision shape the public realm. Guests: Leonard Gardner and Brian White

At Home with Architecture

There’s something uniquely revealing about the homes architects design for themselves. In this episode, we talk to members of the Edwards White team who’ve created spaces to live in — spaces that reflect their values, aesthetic instincts and the daily realities of life. Guests: Georgia Peacocke & Harry Croucher

Collective Vision

This short episode is a conversation about how architecture can shape place, and how Edwards White has shaped and been shaped by theirs. It's a chance to reflect on the past 20 years, and the moments, people and projects that have defined the practice. Guests: Grant Edwards, Brian White (Founding Directors) Daniel Smith & Harry Croucher (Directors).

Culture in Practice

This episode explores how Edwards White engages in cultural partnership — working closely with mana whenua and Māori artists to design with care, respect and long-term connection. Through projects like Te Ara Pekapeka Bridge and the Hamilton Gardens Visitor Centre, we hear how kaupapa Māori thinking is embedded in the design process and how architecture can give form to stories, values and relationships that are deeply rooted in place. Guests: Grant Edwards, Harry Croucher (Architects) and Eugene Kara (Artist and Cultural Advisor).
