In this episode of Business of Architecture, Rion Willard sits down with Dominic McAndrew, Head of Architecture and Design at CBRE Design Collective for the UK and Ireland. What's it like to run a high-performing design team inside one of the world's largest real estate companies? Dominic shares a rare behind-the-scenes look at how he's growing a profitable practice—without following the traditional path of starting his own firm.

You'll hear how his team doubled revenue, secured a more diverse client mix, and gained leadership traction—all while staying embedded within a global corporate machine. But this isn't about selling out. It's about showing up differently, playing smarter, and tapping into a deeper well of opportunity most architects miss.

Tune in to discover:

  • Why being small inside something big might be your best bet
  • The one internal shift that sparked team-wide growth
  • How to lead with value—even when the client holds all the cards
