“John’s passion for design extends beyond architecture. His love for sculpture and wrought ironwork brings an artistic flair to his projects, infusing them with a sense of craftsmanship and individuality.

This artistic sensibility is evident in every detail, creating spaces that are not only functional but also deeply personal and emotionally resonant.”

A Fusion of Architecture & Art

John’s architectural journey is deeply rooted in his passion for the arts.

His early years were shaped by studying sculpture part-time at the esteemed Claremont Art School, where he honed his skills over four years.

This foundation in artistic disciplines profoundly influences his architectural practice, enabling him to seamlessly integrate sculptural elements into his designs.

Whether it’s a custom staircase that doubles as a statement piece, a bespoke lighting feature, or a modern façade, John’s work is characterised by a harmonious blend of artistic flair and architectural innovation.
