After a long hiatus, Designing Tiehack Haus returns with its third episode: The Material Palette.

It’s one thing to envision what your future home might look like — it’s something else entirely to stand in front of the real materials, touch them, and see how they interact with one another. In this episode, Principal Designer Alex Foreshew takes us inside the design process for his future home, Tiehack Haus, exploring exterior materiality samples and the story behind each choice.

Every element matters when it comes to architectural design. From wood grains and stone textures to glass, steel, and finishes, the way materials connect defines not only the aesthetic but also the integrity and longevity of the home. Seeing these pieces together creates a sense of cohesion that can’t be captured on paper alone.
