It's a home that completely reflects Phin’s ethos: architecture doesn’t have to be fancy to enrich our lives.\nPhin is deeply woven into the fabric of the neighbourhood. Together with their neighbours, they've transformed neglected corners of the estate into gardens and trained vines up the old washing posts. Every March, they all come together for a celebration called \"Unlocking\", where they plant a tree and share some of Phin's homemade rhubarb ice cream.\nIn this conversation, Phin reflects on growing up on a generic new-build estate, what it felt like to be an outsider and why they've become so passionate about repair.\nPhin also reflects on the end of their long-term relationship, and how that experience transformed their understanding of what home really means.\nThis episode was filmed inside Phin Harper’s Greenwich Estate Flat.\nJoin us over on Patreon to watch the full home tour.\nPatreon: http://patreon.com/HomingWithMatt\nMore from Phin:\nPhineas Harper is a roving reporter for The Modern House and Inigo. Each month, they share a digital \"postcard\" that celebrates the \"friendly, playful, warm, cosy, squishy and joyful\" side of architecture.\nFollow Phin's escapades at https://www.youtube.com/@themodernhouse_films.\n\nTo hear more from us:\n\nPatreon: Watch exclusive home tours, https://www.patreon.com/HomingWithMatt\nYouTube: Subscribe to our channel, Homing with Matt\nInstagram: Follow for updates and announcements, @homingwithmatt\nContact: Email us at hello@mattgibberd.com\nMatt Gibberd’s book, A Modern Way to Live, is available here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/320176/a-modern-way-to-live-by-gibberd-matt/9780241480496\nMusic by @simeonwalkermusic\nIdentity & design by @lena.winkler.creative.office\nProduced by...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jfhTOve5zkBU-4TRtFPERWb8yNLRKVKLKahjrWvoDdk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNWNk/YTE1NTI1ZWQ0NjI1/MTBhNDlkOWY1ZTU1/OGM1YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
