Manage episode 407247910 series 3559409
Welcome to The Interiors Podcast. In this latest episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Alex Calder about self-building in Wicklow over 4+ years through the pandemic. Alex takes us through the timeline of the project, their biggest learnings, the experts that were invaluable and all the nitty gritty details of the planning permission process for a modernist home - from leveraging local politicians to re-building a bridge!
