From the moment his work first came to public attention in the early 1980s, John Pawson’s impact on the world of contemporary architecture has been profound. Different and powerful, simple yet profound, his is not an architect of grand stylistic gestures, but of eternal principles and the fundamental qualities of light, proportion and materials. At once restrained and lyrically sensuous, it is work of deceptive richness, where the eye is free to register the grain of a piece of timber or the changing play of sunlight on a wall. Here is architecture whose superlative quality has the power to turn the everyday experiences of life - the taking of a shower or the preparation of food – into something quietly extraordinary.

John Pawson’s portfolio spans enormously diverse commissions, from Calvin Klein’s flagship store in Manhattan and airport lounges in Hong Kong to a new Cistercian monastery in Bohemia. He has created private houses around the world, performing the extraordinary balancing act of wedding superlative livability to cutting edge design. Each design is a unique response to a unique situation, but the underlying preoccupations remain constant: architecture with an intimate connection between places and people, where comfort is paramount and where, even in the chaos of an international airport, it is possible to feel at home.
