Red Diamond Lecture: An English Vision
Named one of the “best country house architects in Britain” and often described as the “go-to” designer to the British royal family, Ben Pentreath is an award-winning architectural designer and decorator whose work embodies the highest principles of traditional and classical architecture, as well as urbanism in contemporary society.
After working for five years in New York and then with the Prince’s Foundation, Ben started his own practice, Ben Pentreath Ltd, in 2004. Since then, the firm has grown to occupy two beautiful studios in Bloomsbury, London. Ben is also co-founder, with Bridie Hall, of Pentreath & Hall, one of London’s most distinctive interiors and decoration shops, located just around the corner from the Ben Pentreath Ltd studios.
Ben is the author of English Decoration, English Houses, and An English Vision, newly out from Rizzoli. He is a regular contributor to the Financial Times and runs the Pentreath & Hall blog. Book signing to follow.
