Kathryn Robson & Chris Rak discuss Permanent Residence
About
The most compelling homes feel effortless and deeply connected to the lives within them. For Robson Rak, this sense of ease is carefully composed. Architecture and interiors are conceived as one: light, volume and material working in quiet dialogue to create spaces that feel grounded, generous and instinctively liveable.These are homes designed to be lived in, to evolve and to support the rhythms of everyday life.
Join us for a glass of sparkling at Avenue Bookstore, Richmond and hear from Robson Rak in conversation with Kate Seddon as they discuss the studio's design process and their enduring idea of home, how it shapes us, anchors us and moves beyond trend.
This conversation will be followed by a signing.
