The Newsletter
Every week, we're exploring global culture through the lens of the home. From floorplans to fixtures, we examine how houses are built, designed, and decorated around the world (with a side of sass, of course!)
The Podcast
The only podcast where we pass on the pyramids and poke around in the plumbing. Iβm Ash, and I'm, exploring the strange, smart, and wonderful ways houses are built, designed, and decorated around the world.
The Books
A new series of OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES books designed to help you try on a new life in different places around the worldβby getting to "go behind closed doors" inside local homes to discover what it's really like to live there.

Because, why not? πΈπΈπΈ
Here’s my idea : fictional interviews of CEOs, marketers and entrepreneurs from fictional worlds (think, social media manager for Daenerys Targaryen, marketer of Wayne Enterprises, branding for the ministry of magic) that explore all the ways companies could use fiction in their branding/marketing.
Love Traffic Cone Aesthetics! My idea is current urban design trends unpicked in an irreverent way. Take the serious, make it fun and digestible. Need to find more cone stuff!
