John Patrick Winberry of Up Studio  

Complex design theories

Sponsored by Architectural Record | Presented by John Patrick Winberry

The Up Studio architect and founding partner John Patrick Winberry joins the podcast to discuss the gentle and comfortable approach The Up Studio employs to guide clients to an understanding of complex design theories. While high-profile projects like the house from the Netflix feature film “Leave The World Behind” may draw attention to The Up Studio, their minimalist designs and close working relationships with clients are the bedrock inspiration for this successful studio.
