Rohan Anderson is back with us today, sharing a seriously more-ish (Moorish?) winter dish.

As the name implies, Rohan’s ‘Patatas Bravas with Unnecessary Chorizo’ is inspired by Spanish flavours.  Chorizo is one of Rohan’s FAVOURITE things, he’s prone to add it to just about any savoury dish in need of a kick!  With its smokey Spanish spices, this particular dish is delicious with or without this meaty addition – after all, crispy potatoes are pretty darn tasty, no matter what you put on them.

Rohan’s brand new book, A Year of Practiculture, is out now through Hardie Grant Books.

When you look at subtropical cities around the world such as São Paulo, Los Angeles, Cape Town and Hong Kong, their houses are very different to your typical Queenslander. Instead of timber and tin, these buildings more commonly showcase concrete construction conducive to the climate.

This thinking underlies much of Richards and Spence’s work – the architecture practice responsible for some of Brisbane’s most impressive contemporary projects including The Calile Hotel and Fish Lane Town Square. 

Their latest project, ‘La Scala’ is incredibly personal, as it’s the self-designed home of the practice’s power couple founders, Ingrid Richards and Adrian Spence. Applying their trademark gentle brutalism aesthetic through concrete and Eco Outdoor’s Scala® travertine, they’ve created a mammoth Bowen Hills home that places outdoor space at the literal centre, and deliberately blurs the line between a domestic and commercial use.
