Michael is a skilled, (humble), and thoughtful architect who lives with his family in Melbourne's inner-west. Having studied at the University of Cambridge in the UK, Michael found himself embracing life in Australia - and specifically, a new life in Melbourne. Michael prides himself on his holistic approach with his clients and his determination to adhere to a client's budget, timeline and future plans.

Although he confessed that being asked "who is Michael Chadwick" feels like a speed dating question, this clever man thinks on his feet and talks our listeners through his career aspirations, his pathway into architecture, and his passion for the environment and how it fits into architecture.

Today, this new Australian shares all of the things he loves about his new home city, (sport and all), and his passion for client care shines bright.

"A lot of my training has been here in Australia".

From energy to insulation, new legislation to Aussie building codes, this young architect's ability to pivot and learn a new way of thinking in a new country have shaped him into the professional he is today.

Michael's willingness to share his journey makes this first episode a special one for The Property Diaries listeners.
