About · Founder & Editor

Martyn White

An independent eye on the spaces, people and ideas defining architecture, interiors, art and design today.

I founded this site in 2014 as a personal investigation into the built environment. Twelve years on, it is still just me: one editor, choosing, reporting and writing every story you read here.

OneEditor. Just me.
The work I am drawn to is always trying to answer the same question: what does it mean to build something that matters?
Martyn White
In my words

First-hand access, not press releases.

What began as a personal investigation has grown into a recognised editorial voice: critical writing, in-depth features and conversations with the designers, architects and artists shaping the world around us. There is no newsroom behind it, just one editor with a career spent inside the discipline.

I go to the events where the industry thinks out loud, and report back first-hand. The writing here is curated, not aggregated. Every piece is here because I believe it deserves to exist.

Where you’ll find me each year
