Architect of the Week: Raymond McGrath

Raymond McGrath (1903-77) was an Australian-born architect and interior designer best known for his two-decade stint as Principal Architect for the Office of Public Works in Ireland. Having read architecture at Sydney University until 1926, McGrath relocated to England to assume a fellowship at Clare College, Cambridge.

In 1930 McGrath set up a practice in London. His first commission was to design the interiors for Broadcasting House in Portland Place, London; a project for which he enlisted the help of his Modernist contemporaries Wells Coates and Serge Chermayeff. During the 1930s McGrath also published two popular texts – the seminal ‘Twentieth Century Houses’ in 1934, and ‘Glass in Architecture and Decoration’ three years later.

In 1936 McGrath undertook a major residential commission for St Ann’s Court in Chertsey, Surrey. The iconic round house was originally built for the renowned landscape artist Christopher Tunnard.
