Our guest this week is renowned architect Bobby McAlpine. His eponymous firm, McAlpine, is known for blending modern and traditional elements to create bold, soulful, and poetic homes that capture our imagination while still feeling familiar. Bobby joins the show to talk about his new book, Romantic Modernism, out on March 21st. He also discusses some of the sculptural elements he brought into the architecture, the influence theater and drama have had on his work, and the personification of his home including knowing his boy house needed a sister. Bobby also talks about what life on a private island is really like and how we can include soft yet beautiful drapery in our homes to give us that romantic yet modern twist.
