DMTV Milkshake: Connecting to Nature Through Design With Architect Michael Leckie
Aspiring architects usually ask one age-old question: how can they avoid boring jobs" Michael Leckie shares his nugget of wisdom and more.
Architect and entrepreneur Michael Leckie is deeply connected to nature: Rather than locking himself away in his studio, Leckie traveled the world as a young architect, working in Greece and Italy before settling in British Columbia. In 2015, he founded his eponymous studio; he?s also the co-founder of The Backcountry Hut Company, as well as the co-founder of Arcana, ?a micro hospitality movement that bridges the gap between urban life and the wild.? (The Leckie-designed cabins are central to the experience of connecting better with nature; they?re currently sold out for summer dates, but keep an eye on their Instagram for news.) ?????"""""""""""""""""
In this week?s Milkshake, we talk with Leckie about a number of subjects, from how multigenerational families can best live together to that favorite question of all young architects: How can they avoid boring jobs" Leckie says it?s as simple as partnering with clients on the same wavelength: ?The most important thing in a young design practice ? and perhaps in any design practice ? is this idea about opportunity,? he says. ?It’s the most important currency in many ways: The projects that you take on beget more of that kind of work. Opportunities lead to more opportunities.?
