Musing from UK Trained Architect John West on his life and work in the Charente Region of South West France
Tags: Charente, Property, Travel
John trained as an Architect at Oxford School of Architecture in the mid 1970's. After spending some time working as an Architect in both public and private practices, John joined the Building Construction Industry working as a Design Consultant and then as Chief Company Architect for several major PLCs including Ibstock Brick and Redland. On moving to France in 2002, John realised that there was the potential to create stunning "Gems" from the large number of unrenovated period stone properties that could be found in the Charente Countryside. He now manages Charente Gems on a day to day basis and in his spare time sketches in pen and ink and plays Guitar once a month at his local Cafe-Bar in Gourville.
