Sean Godsell

<p>In this episode, Sean and I discussed:</p><ul> <li>Why he believes his small practice structure, currently himself and associate director Hayley Franklin, allows him to stay closer to the work and achieve the best design outcome.</li> <li>Why Sean believes committed clients will find their way to him without the need for heavy-handed marketing and PR - even though it can sometimes mean having to wait for the phone to ring.</li> <li>How the profession has become too obsessed with creating good looking images for Instagram, and why this form of feedback can lead architects off in the wrong direction.</li> <li>How Sean has developed a design methodology where his client are heavily involved in their project from day one, rather than the stereotype of the architect who imposes their ideas onto the client.</li> <li>Sean explains how viewing each project as an opportunity to improve on the ideas in the last has led to a consistency quality to his buildings, and shares his response to the popular argument that architects should avoid having a recognisable signature or style in their work.</li> </ul><p>If you’d like to learn more about Sean and his work, you can visit <a href="http://seangodsell.com/">seangodsell.com</a> or follow the studio on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/seangodsellarchitects/?hl=en">@seangodsellarchitects</a>. </p><p>Office Talk is hosted by Dave Sharp, M.Arch—an architectural marketing expert and the director of Office D.SHARP, a practice providing specialised consultancy, marketing and PR services tailored to meet the particular needs of architects.
