ARCHITECT OF THE WEEK: Jack Woolley

House in London

Old Workshop

Statement

Jack Woolley graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1987 and began his career in industrial design, working for the innovation consultancy Isis UK, where he was a director. Jack is now a chartered architect based in London, having returned to the RCA in 2006 to study architecture under Nigel Coates. He won the 2012 Architect’s Journal Small Projects Award for his first completed building. The project was the conversion of a former carpenter’s workshop to a live/work space. This was achieved by inserting a new volume under the original structure, doubling its inhabitable space at the same time as preserving its integrity.

Jack Woolley is one of a number of entries recently added to our Directory of Architects and Designers.
