Episode 20: A Concrete Conversation with Ilana Freadman

Interviews

Ilana Freadman: Freadman White

25/08/2022


Led by Ilana Freadman and Michael White, Freadman White embeds a curiosity-driven and experientially charged tension in its architecture. Seeking to reveal beauty in seemingly simple and often overlooked settings, they strive to create visually intriguing and emotionally resonant spaces.

 

Believing architecture’s mandate to making positive contributions to individual lives and the wider urban plan, Freadman White designs contextually informed structures with disciplined whimsy. Rather than responding literally to physical surrounds, they pursue sensorial and textural moments informed by memories of place and the achievements of modern architecture.

 

In this episode, your host, Elizabeth McIntyre, and our guest, Ilana Freadman, talk about her amusing childhood memories, Kevin Borland's influence on her architectural development, early career stage struggles, and why the chemistry between work and life partners benefit both life and work.

 

Listen to the full episode to discover more of the following:

  • Main influential sources that led Ilana to pursue architecture;
  • Ilana's first introduction to Kevin Borland's architecture, and how it shaped her architectural vision;
  • What role Ilana's European heritage plays in her household and office environment;
  • How Ilana was introduced to Kevin Borland's first interior ceiling device;
  • Unconventional child activities shaping Ilana's views towards art;
  • Design methodology and fundamentals behind their multi-award-winning projects;
  • Her journey from the first steps into the world of architecture to building her own firm;
  • Dealing with hectic work schedule establishing Freadman White;
  • A glimpse into Ilana and Michael's companionship and the roles they take;
