Interior design doesn’t exist in a vacuum. That’s why, when it comes to great design, balancing form and function is at the core of creating spaces that work for the people who inhabit them. After all, what is design all about?
Spaces. They influence every part of our lives – our health, wealth and happiness. Each week on the Spaces podcast, Sam Buckby shares the insights of leading building and design experts to help make our buildings smarter and create healthier and happier spaces.
If you’re a fan of watching the TV reality show The Block, you might recognise the name Shannon Vos. Shannon and his brother won the 2014 series. Since then, he’s gone on to pursue his passion for interior design, now with his own very successful firm, Vos Creative. You might have also read his column in Inside Out magazine.
