Spaces Designed to be Lived in with Architect Laura Simpkins Apr 10, 2024

There's tremendous power in crafting homes that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also align with the dynamics of life and its ever-changing nature. Having a sanctuary to retreat to amidst the chaos of the world is incredibly important. In a world often portrayed by picture-perfect magazine homes, Laura focuses on designing spaces that cater to the needs of "normal" people navigating family life—where the goal might simply be to drain the peas! Charlie adds her insights from years of managing building projects, emphasising the value of accepting gradual progress and prioritizing durability.

Raising Adventurous Eaters with Dan Hayes, the London Chef May 18, 2022

Dan Hayes is the London Chef, a classically trained French chef who’s most comfortable creating Mediterranean-inspired dishes.

More about Moebius Syndrome:

Moebius Syndrome is an extremely rare neurological disorder which is present at birth. The exact incidence is unknown. It is characterised by weakening or paralysis of the muscles in the face which control expression and lateral eye movements. People born with Moebius syndrome are unable to smile or frown, blink their eyes, or suck, although sometimes only one side is affected. Other physical problems are sometimes present in people with Moebius syndrome, such as clubfoot; mouth, tongue and jaw deformities; and respiratory illnesses. Although Moebius syndrome is sometimes associated with intellectual disabilities such as autism, and development delays, it mainly affects children of normal intelligence and cognitive development. The disorder is named after the German physician Paul Julius Möbius who described the condition in 1888. More recently it has been referred to as Moebius sequence, a more accurate description of this kind of disorder, where a single embryological event leads to a chain of developmental defects.
