Gap Finders – The Modern House

Available for over a year

This week’s Gap Finders are Albert Hill and Matt Gibberd, the co-founders of The Modern House. It’s an estate agency, although not in the traditional sense. It focuses specifically on modernist and design-led homes, which it promotes with long-form articles, mini documentaries and photography. Through this content, as well as podcasts and magazines, it has developed what The Times newspaper refers to as ‘a cult-like following.’ Since its founding in 2005 it has sold thousands of homes, and in 2021 launched Inigo, its site specialising in the sale of historic houses. We speak to Albert and Matt about starting the business with no experience in property, their architectural inspiration and what the future holds for The Modern House.
