Claude Ferrier

Claude Waterlow Ferrier FRIBA (1879 – 6 July 1935) was a Scottish architect, who specialised in the Art Deco style.

[1][2] Educated at Marlborough College, Ferrier started his career as an apprentice at the practice of Aston Webb, but left to start his own practice at the age of just 23.

[2] Ferrier spent much of his time in Continental Europe, especially in France, which influenced his work; an avowed Francophile, he published an English-French dictionary of technical terms.

[2] He later returned to London, and set up a practice based in Westminster with William Binnie, a former deputy director of Works at the Imperial War Graves Commission, in 1927.

Buildings he worked on included: Ferrier did not live to see the completion of Highbury; he was killed after being struck by a motorcyclist in a crash the previous summer.
