Pause, relax, reflect the majority of us spend
our free time in pursuit of the ultimate way to
unwind. Paul McAneary Architects spend their
time creating the ultimate architectural space to
facilitate this, whether it be an art gallery, a spa or
a garden.
This book represents a compilation of their ever
expanding leisure projects, bringing together
galleries, design stores, boutique hotels and other
commercial buildings, products and spaces.
Paul McAneary Architects is a medium-sized
British architectural practice, founded in 2007.
They embrace the rigours of minimalism but
with a new warmth, creating clutter free spaces
that achieve a high functionality yet maintain a
welcoming nature.
Their design process is driven by sensitivity to
the given context and deep understanding of
the project’s brief rather than by a predetermined
style. Inspired by the minimal modernist
architectural tradition, Paul McAneary Architects
promote a new spatial narrative where the least
number of lines and details, the pureness of forms
and the use of warm natural materials, create
peaceful, sustainable spaces.

This book represents a compilation of their ever
expanding leisure projects, bringing together
galleries, design stores, boutique hotels and
offices.
PMA are involved in a wide range of projects at
different scales including bespoke interior design
pieces, furniture design, high-end residential,
commercial and cultural. The projects are all
across the UK but mostly in Central London
consisting of refurbishment, extension and new-
builds. Their project sizes range from small fit-
outs to multimillion pound buildings, with their
largest built project budget to date being £12M.
Their policy for treating each project individually
and creating unique features establishes
strong working relationships with their clients,
contractors and suppliers. PMA are committed
to delivering the best value, practical solutions,
and design excellence with a high level of
professionalism and innovation.
Their professional approach and high quality
design and detailing has received acclaim from
the design community, leading to the company
being awarded the Living Space Design of the Year
Award, in 2010 and 2011, “an unprecedented
second successive win.”
Carl Kostyál Gallery, opening party
The British Architect Paul McAneary was born in
Northern Ireland in 1973 and commenced his
architectural education at the Oxford School of
Architecture.
Whilst studying for his degree he won the Alan Barnes
Travelling Scholarship, which enabled him to take
his practical training year in Hong Kong. The fast
track environment of Hong Kong facilitated his rapid
development; he was appointed project architect on a
wide variety of projects for the notable architect Mike
Tonkin, only his second position following working
under Nigel Cowell in Oxford. Paul then moved to
Japan and was employed by the leading Japanese
Architect Shin Takamatsu and completed several
published projects.
Following his international experience, he completed
his training in London at the Architectural Association,
under a series of prominent architects including Ben
van Berkel, Kevin Rhowbothan and David Green. He
completed his professional studies at the AA, where he
attained the highest level of architectural registration
becoming a RIBA Chartered Architect.
He later went on to become the Honorary Secretary
of the AA Council. In the following years Paul was self-
employed completing a range of architectural projects
in the UK. His next position was with the acclaimed
minimalist John Pawson, the media famed ‘father of
minimalism’. There he completed a number of high
profile national and international projects. Paul left
John Pawson to establish Harwood McAneary Ltd with
the Australian architect Robert Harwood.
In 2007 Paul established Paul McAneary Architects
Ltd, the studio is now located on edge of Soho in
Covent Garden, where they are currently designing
and building their own studio on Flitcroft Street.
Paul regularly holds lectures on topics such as his
inspiration, concepts and projects to date, at venues
ranging from universities, to the ICA, to Ecobuild.
His new brand of ‘warm minimalism’ is forging ground
within contemporary architecture, pushing the
boundaries to achieve the best possible outcome for
his clients. Paul’s exciting new approach has been
greatly received, with the notable magazine House
and Garden writing a profile on his work, where he was
described as ‘embracing the rigours of minimalism.’
Grand Designs magazine listing him as one of the
top 10 architects in 2012 and clients’ describing
him and his team as having an ‘understanding of
space, eye for detail, and knowledge of materials,
that transformed my building into an intelligent and
timeless environment.’

typical sample collection co-ordinating the design before construction
Paul McAneary Architects are enthusiastic about
natural materials and are constantly exploring with
manufacturers to develop innovative fabrication
techniques, architectural forms and tectonics.
They specify warm, natural materials for their
longevity, robustness and ecological credentials:
they are sustainable and become more valuable
and beautiful as time passes. They also often use
recycled and reconstituted materials. They have
a vast and ever expanding sample collection to
assure the highest quality design results.

Natural Lighting
Paul McAneary Architects’ philosophy is to allow
natural light to flood into the space via skylights,
floor-to-ceiling windows and walk-in glass
terraces. Frameless glass panels reinforce the
perception of spacial continuity and connection
between the interior and exterior spaces.
18 19
sky showers
Light floods into this space through the bespoke
PMA detail of the folded frameless skylight. The
facade folds back into the depth of the building
intentionally in the direction of the sun. A “ballet
of light” is the result. The light casts a sharp
beam into the depth of the building. The rays of
light accentuated by the light coloured floor and
ceiling, dance through the space during the hours
of daylight.

Building connections
glass balustrades reflect and define the stairs as you descend
Staircases are one of the most important features
in architecture. Paul McAneary believes that the
architectural experience of the staircase should be
heightened by design with techtonic interatction,
changing how one experiences movement
through space: creating striking connections
between levels in commerical buildings. PMA
designs bespoke features that enhance the
overall project concept.
22 23
Recent projects include the installation of a 16m
high full tree section in a framless glass lift shaft
extending from the ground floor to the 5th floor
roof. The glass lift shaft, complete with a bespoke
glass lift car, allows natural light to penetrate
through the building in areas that would otherwise
be lacking. The tree installation services as both
the physical and conceptual connection of the
building.

Functionality
24 25
Paul McAneary Architects develop a contemporary
design that is minimal and yet very functional. They
design clutter-free and calm spaces by cleverly
concealing wide storage spaces, making the final
user’s experience practical and stress-free. Where
needed, prefabricated carcasses can be used
to reduce costs, but quality, bespoke doors are
always used for a beautiful façade that disappears
into the language of the architecture.
Lighting details are applied above and below the
doors, creating ambient light that emphasises the
clean lines of the architecture.
26 27
This innovative design allows the wine bottles to
be stored so that the labels are visible, enhancing
the functionality beyond that of a typical wine
cellar. The lighting has been designed deliberately
from below to create a wall of glowing wine bottles.
Landscaping
28 29
Paul McAneary Architects develop large and small
scale urban landscaping projects, including living
walls and roof gardens. Boundaries are pushed
to discover new ways of incorporating vegetation
into design, to work with the existing building
and create exciting spaces that respond to their
environment.

Tortoise Enclosure
Completion Date: 2012
Area: 8 sqm
Location: Northern Ireland
Surface Design Awards 2013 - Highly Commended
An exemplary eco project, the stone wall of the
Tortoise Enclosure was built with responsibly
selected, locally sourced, chisel faced sandstone.
One of the project’s merits is the development of
a innovative method of treating timber by burning
it. The effect is not only beautiful, but about
functional and ecological as the treated timber
does not require continual maintenance using
toxic and chemical products.

The quality of space and detail in WCs and
bathrooms often reveals the quality of the whole
building project. PMA’s attention to detailing and
knowledge of the latest developments in sanitary
ware fittings always produces the very highest
calibre of spaces. Dyson Airblade Washroom Competition
38 39
Paul McAneary Architects won the Dyson
Air Blade washroom competition with their
sleek, minimal design that achieves the next
generation of ”0% waste”. Their winning concept
is sustainable in terms of waste, durability and
energy consumption, without compromising their
minimal design aesthetic. Ergonomical, functional
and space saving, the design application is
intented to be used as both a single auto-wash
stations in spaces such as hotel rooms, hospital
wards and restaurants and as 9 auto wash stations
side by side in large public washrooms. Boutique Hotel

Backpacker Hotel
Location: Hoxton, London
Client: No Curfew Ltd
46 47
Located in the heart of the fashionable district of
Kingsland Road, Hoxton London, Backpacker Hotel
‘recycles’ the existing architecture and create a
new hybrid accommodation that is affordable and
unique in design. With this innovative approach,
the budget hostel meets the boutique hotel.
The proposed design adds a double height space
to the existing building and places an expanded
corten mesh screen in front of the facade to afford
privacy.
The original Victorian facade is retained and
enhanced by the sculptural rusty see-through
steel curtain. The rusty shade of the steel creates
beautiful reflections during the day while at night,
it perfectly blends and glows with the London
orange street lights. The result is visually striking:
urban and sophisicated at the same time. Theological

In essence London is the truest metropolis where
the greatest number of different nationalities,
races and cultures live. This new typology
provides a wedding venue for members of
every denomination to share their ceremony.
Two tapered pathways enter the mirrored
amphitheatre and converge at the centre point;
geometry forms the ultimate metaphor for unity
for both sides of the family. The families exit the
venue together through a single door on a parallel
path, completing the architecturilisation of the
union of marriage. Detail Design
52 53
Paul McAneary Architects are known for their
particular attention to the detail in the design of
all their projects. They create bespoke features
appropriate to each client and space, each project
has at least one ‘special’ innovative design detail.
54 55
Inspired by the Japanese concept of Tsukubai,
Paul McAneary Architects developed a
bespoke naturally tectonic stone basin.
PMA also developed a hyper functional steel
faucet capable of filling a large bath in under
two minutes at up to 200 litres per minute;
faster than anything commercially available in
the world.
56 57
Installation of the largest double glazed unit in
Europe, stretching over 2 and a half stories it
creates a vertical light well connecting the rear of
the project.
58 59
In tandem with their architecture, Paul McAneary
Architects have developed numerous pieces of
product design. Here is their sofa called ‘the couch
board’, this is a piece of furniture that changes its
form as its user changes the programme. It has a
desk behind that can fold up or down, and side
arms that fold out like an aeroplane’s armtray table.
paul mcaneary architects light table
‘the light table’, similar to the ‘the couch board’,
is a piece of furniture that responds to its user by
changing its function as required. It is foremost
a desk or table, being highly durable and of the
simplest form and detail.
It changes to act as a light box, so can glow
to enhance a space, or illuminate overlaid
documents. This is achieved via a concealed light
tube within the inner top frame.

Conservation
Paul McAneary Architects often work with listed
buildings, or buildings in conservation areas,
producing extra challenges due to planning
restrictions. They work with the existing materials,
restoring important features then juxtaposing
contemporary design details against them. They
push boundaries to create unique and new, yet
beautifully restored buildings.

“The most unique dynamic and visionary design
store in London,” said Max Frazer of Mint in the
London Design Guide 2010.
Previously, the John Pawson designed Bulthaup
kitchen showroom occupied the building’s ground
floor. Coincidentally Paul McAneary worked for
Pawson before he established his studio and
demolished his old master’s work.
The project’s brief was to reconfigure and expand
the existing space. Paul McAneary Architects
designed a new contemporary timber facade
that plays with the traditional proportions of the
classical building and expanded the space by
forming a new basement.
Other important details include two structural
glass floors which serve to allow transparency and
visual connection between the levels and allow
natural light to the new lower space.
Paul McAneary Architects most important detail
is the new staircase to the lower level. It has a very
flush glazed balustrade and floating rough sawn
oak treads, together with McAneary’s special
handrail that has a hidden inner radius to make the
act of descending the staircase a more pleasurable
tectonic experience.

This project was developed for a minerals company
in Mayfair, London. The company mines various
precious and semi-precious stores, elements and
fuels. All are extracted, so this key feature wall in
the company is conceptually a vertical section
through the earth- with evident striations. Natural
slate was employed to achieve 7 different surface
treatments, all emphasised by a bespoke, special
continuous high power LED linear down lighter
pushing the mineral layer concept to the maximum
expression.
