John Pawson

John Pawson has spent more than 30 years making rigorously simple architecture that speaks of the fundamentals but is also modest in character. His body of work spans a broad range of scales and typologies, including private houses, galleries, museums, hotels, and yacht interiors. Whether at the scale of a monastery, a house, a saucepan, or a ballet, everything Pawson does is traceable back to a consistent set of preoccupations with mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light, and ritual.

Surface Says

John Pawson’s projects may appear quiet, clean, neutral, and well-lighted, but they pack a punch. We admire the deep thought and complexity behind Pawson's use of seemingly simple surfaces.
