15° Off-White House PMA’s first front cover for the development of its first light enhancing facet into this open plan project with ‘floating’ staircase.

Wudu House PMA’s first spiritual commission – to design the space of bathing before prayer. Natural light emanates from the monolithic wall into a shallow pool whilst light reflects off the water creating a serene space.

Model Home A House for Germany’s number 1 top model. Including a large walk-in-wardrobe room with bespoke PMA dressing chaise-longue.

Exhibition Don’t Move. Improve! Faceted House 1 for NLA (New London Architecture), London.

Glass House As featured in the Wall Street Journal. Situated in Shad-Thames,? this converted mill house offers a large loft space usually unattainable in Central London. The client, who read History of Art at Cambridge, wanted the space to showcase his collection of contemporary art,? including pieces from Damien Hirst to Harland Miller. He also requested to create privacy and intimacy within this ballroom-esque loft.

Paul designed a dramatic, sophisticated scheme that worked with the existing elements of the space but incorporated interventions in many different forms of glass to emphasise, amplify and adapt this fantastic old mill house into a monochrome minimal? wonder. Large panels of Smart Glass were used throughout the apartment in order to create visual connections between spaces separated by an atrium and to enable the users to instantly create a more intimate private setting by switching any glass surface from clear to opaque finish.

Institute of Contemporary Arts?Creating 3 glazed structures on the facade of this grade I listed Nash building at the Royal Mall on the drive to Buckingham Palace. Essential to the brief was that the structures be demountable and structurally integral so that they were self supporting without any connection to the parent building made the design of this detail extremely demanding.

Pop House A house for a X Factor judge and British singer song/writer.

Oblong House Spans over 7 floors including 7 bedrooms and bathrooms, a spa, wine cellar, sky-cinema room, library, glass lift, full tree section, glass bar and hundreds of intricate bespoke details. It is PMA’s most titanic residential restoration project.?Bespoke details and pushing boundaries were key to creating a dark contemporary twist on modern minimal architecture.

The renovation respects historic elements of the London townhouse adding new elegant features that stand the test of time.PMA used the spectacular height and layering of the building to develop a concept that separated functions of the house into a hierarchy containing the users program at specific points. These separate layers are then united by a series of oblong features, from a minimal glass lift shaft to an oblong, back lit, polished glass installation floating in the entrance area.

The Largest Double Glazed Unit in Europe Realised by PMA at just over 4 x 8 meters following Paul’s relentless technical dialogue with glass tougheners in Switzerland – initially the piece was said to be impossible with the largest toughening oven in the world. The design is emphasised by its placement over the largest minimal section glass sliding doors ever made by Skyframe (with special ball bearings to aid it running) and 2 structural glass floors inside maximising the transparency of this super scale design.

Eco-finity Spath & Screen Spa-th PMA conceive 2 new designs for Kaldewei: ‘Eco-finity Spa-th and Eco-finity Screen Spa-th’. PMA have taken bath design to the next generation of exclusive well-being experience at home. These baths are a combination of elegance, ergonomic functionality, luxury experience and sustainability.

Tex-Tonic House 1 & 2 The clients brief in this invited competition was to design two apartments on the top floor of the existing Central London post office and Phillips de Pury art auction house in Victoria, London.?Paul McAneary Architects’ response won the competition with a proposal for expressed natural tectonics through numerous new details, and even developing a new material type – of cast timber bronze.

The overall architectural language is modest and dramatic at the same time: mixed timber tectonics? have been applied with an emphasis on their texture and intrinsic beauty. The amount of ‘vertical natural light’ flooding through the large skylights, walk on glass and the horizontal curtain walling maximise the exquisite effect of the natural grain and pattern of the timber ceiling, oak beams and floor as well as the bronze ‘timber texture’.

PMA Basin Inspired by the Japanese concept of Tsukubai, PMA developed a bespoke and naturally tectonic stone basin. Made from semi-porous travertine stone, the silver-grey basin is rough carved with polished inner faces. It sits on smooth timber joinery accentuating the natural texture of the stone.

Mint?A London design store, is PMA’s first retail design. It incorporates a new facade, basement, structural glass floor and staircase. It is the latter that is the most important detail. It has a very special flush glazed balustrade and floating rough sawn oak treads, together with a special hand rail that has a hidden inner radius to make the act of descending the staircase more pleasurable tectonic experience.

Cast Timber Bronze A new material type of cast timber bronze was created by PMA working closely with a foundry for the award winning project Tex-Tonic House 1.

Passivhaus Paul completes training at BRE for Passivhaus with the aim of designing to Passivhaus standards for future PMA projects.

Backpacker Hotel PMA’s first architectural project covered in BD.

Pitch-Gable House On a complex corner site in a London conservation area, the largest ‘pitched gable’ house is intersected by two smaller house forms at non-orthogonal angles.? Gutters and utilities are hidden, providing a clean lined exterior. Frameless windows are kept to a minimum on the street side, opening up at the rear for a large light filled living space. The design is a bold response to the need for sustainable living. The house boasts excellent eco credentials using Passivhaus principles, incorporating solar panels, a ground source heat pump, maximum insulation and grey water recycling; whilst technological features work in tandem with the carbon neutral natural building materials. PMA have re-interpreted the traditional house volume to create a new architectural formal typology.

Lecture?‘Natural Materials, Elegant Style’.?Eco-Build, London

White Oak House Remodeling and refurbishment of a 3 bedroom flat in Hampstead, with one of its main features being the large open plan kitchen, dining and living area.

Linden House Remodelling and refurbishment of a detached 2 storey residential building including the conversion of the existing garden storage at the rear into an art studio.

Garden Room House PMA were originally appointed to design a side return extension and solve a long standing planning dispute. The planning issue was resolved by Paul’s bespoke stepped glazing detailed design, which set a new planning president. Paul saw potential on the site for a far greater development area, replacing an existing asbestos garage and connecting it to the house to create a garden. This courtyard, minimally glazed on all three sides and level with the inside, thus becomes in all senses the truest ‘Garden Room’.

Eco-Lever Apartments New -build project in Camden, London.

Carmel House, California PMA’s first American commission – a house with entry bridge in Carmel California. With bridge-rocking earthquakes from the San Andreas fault line and Carmel’s extremely strict planning code’s this demanding project is currently in development.

New-Build Apartment Blocks Live project in London.

Post-Aircon House This new build apartment block in Notting Hill, London, is a contemporary, exemplary eco-design. PMA won the long battle against the planners and developer client, who wished to use air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation. PMA amassed a vast volume of research and calculation to justify Facade Ventilator panels, which rule out the need for air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation through their cross ventilation by design. Their significance in ventilation is possible throughout inclimate weather, without reducing security or loss of privacy, or causing disturbance by noise. PMA are currently designing this Code 5 building for construction.

Highly Commended?at the London Evening Standard Awards with Tex-Tonic House.

Blackhorse Tower?Located on a peripheral site in Walthamstow with close proximity to transport links, Blackhorse Tower delivers high density and mix-use accommodation, responding to current development changes in the capital. The design is a quartet of 30 storey point blocks connected by an open lift. In response to both design and structural engineering challenges due to location, the footprint of the buildings snake across the site to avoid impinging on underground lines. With duplex apartments, a hotel and space as well as retail units, the most innovation design feature is the elevated and cantilevered swimming pool poised between apartment blocks.
