Michael Squire (architect)

Michael Squire was born May 3, 1946 to architect, Raglan Squire, who was known for his work on Eaton Square in Belgravia.[3] He was also the grandson of J. C. Squire, a poet and founder of the 1922 Architecture Club.[3]

Squire attended Blundell's School in Devon and studied architecture at St John's College, Cambridge under Sir Leslie Martin and Sir Colin St John Wilson.[3][4]

Squire is survived by his second wife, Rosy, three children from their union, and two sons from his first marriage to Pansy.[3]

Squire worked at his father's firm, contributing to various projects, including the Malta Hilton.[3]

In 1976, Squire established his own architectural firm, Squire and Partners.[3][5] The firm gained traction in the 1980s by designing notable structures in West London, including an abode for Dubai's ruler.[3] Later, it faced challenges during the 1989 property downturn but later focused on designing apartments in central London locations such as Brook House and The Knightsbridge.[3] In his later years, Squire converted a former Brixton department store into an office space for his firm.[3]
