Spear’s Review

‘Simplicity in architecture and design’ is John Pawson CBE’s motto, and he delivers on it. The esteemed architectural and furniture designer has specialised in creating unique private homes for discerning clients for more than 40 years.

Pawson is known for his minimalist aesthetic; his portfolio is brimming with buildings and objects featuring clean lines, and pristine white is often the colour of choice. But this does not mean a lack of diversity: his Paros houses, for example, are endlessly inventive, while still fitting seamlessly into the Grecian landscape.

His firm takes on projects internationally, from the Japanese island of Okinawa to Montauk in the US, and each design is carried through with the same meticulous sense of space and light.
