Australian louvre and facade specialist Louvreclad has announced the launch of its new podcast series, Inside Out – a platform that brings architects, engineers, builders, and asset owners into candid conversations about how building exteriors are inspired, engineered, and implemented.

The monthly series will be hosted by Louvreclad’s Uddhava Sharplin and will feature interviews with industry leaders who shape Australia’s most distinctive projects. Each 30-minute episode blends expert perspectives with real-life case studies, giving listeners practical insights into design collaboration, compliance, sustainability, and performance.

The debut episode, Designing for Performance: The Future of Facades, features architect Marina Evangelista, founder of RINNA DESIGN and formerly of John McAslan + Partners. Drawing on her experience leading facade design coordination for Sydney Metro’s Waterloo Station, Evangelista shares lessons from integrating performance louvres into one of Sydney’s most complex infrastructure projects, and reflects on how design storytelling and technical requirements can work together.

“Facades are cultural contributions,” Evangelista says. “Early collaboration with engineers and contractors turns what could be compromises into creative opportunities.”

Louvreclad Marketing Manager Jedd Wright adds, “Our industry is full of valuable lessons that rarely make it beyond the office walls. Inside Out gives those stories an outlet, helping professionals learn from each other and encouraging earlier collaboration across disciplines.”

The podcast will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and directly via louvreclad.com/resources/inside-out-the-louvreclad-podcast/. Future episodes will include perspectives from designers, builders, and asset owners on topics ranging from AI data centres to facade refurbishments and the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.
