Pages
Everyone has a story … Setting off from leafy Dulwich, Paul discovers the electrifying music of the late 60s, legendary gigs, light-shows and student rebellion. Artist and architect heroes inspire precarious travels to North Africa and Iran in a search for the sustainability and longevity of indigenous cultures. Back in London, he finds work for Grosvenor and Cadogan Estates whilst simultaneously being commissioned by the rock ‘n roll world. Radical recording studios to meet the changing technology of music production lead to stage sets and musicians houses: Ringo Starr, Roxy Music and Duran Duran all enjoying Paul’s ability to inject individuality into their homes.

Early battles with planners turn to respect and hundreds of reinvented historic buildings in Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea; most notably the Duke of York campus at Sloane Square, the Saatchi gallery and Cadogan Hall as home to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Collaborations with Thierry Despont and Thomas Heatherwick broaden his perspective and portfolio. Projects in the Far East bring new challenges and awards. An incurable romantic, Paul’s story illustrates the value of place and memory above isolated icons.
