Rebecca Caldwell - Design responsibility

In this episode, Abigail Lee is speaking with registered architect and Director at Maytree Studios, Rebecca Caldwell. Abigail talks with Rebecca about how she designs the kind of world she wants to live in. Her design philosophy combines ethics, social and environmental responsibility with the forward-thinking sensibilities of contemporary architecture. Rebecca is genuinely invested in her clients and advocates for a 'humans first, architects second' approach to design - putting ego aside to find a creative solution to their needs within budget.
