The Midday Exchange with Paul Angel 12-3pm on 919fm
Designed for Living is where great radio meets real life practicality.
Every Thursday at 1:15pm on The Midday Exchange, Paul Angel sits down with architect Francois Marais from FM Architects to unpack the spaces we live, work, dream, and invest in.
From first homes to future cities…
from renovations and building budgets to design mistakes, property trends, dream homes, architecture psychology, and how spaces shape the way we feel—
Designed for Living makes architecture feel human, accessible, and relevant.
This isn’t a show for architects.
It’s for everyday people asking real questions:
Where do I start when building a home?
How do I avoid expensive mistakes?
What actually adds value to a property?
Why does one space feel warm and inviting while another feels cold?
What trends are shaping how South Africans will live in the future?
With Paul’s warmth, curiosity, and ability to make complex conversations feel deeply human—and Francois’ decades of architectural expertise—Designed for Living helps listeners make smarter decisions about property, design, and the spaces they call home.
It’s practical.
It’s aspirational.
It’s educational.
And above all…
it’s about building spaces—and lives—that feel intentional.
