Founder
johanna molineus
Johanna Molineus established her architecture practice in London in 2002 after working in Tokyo for Arata Isozaki, in Berlin for Dominique Perrault, and in Paris for Jean Nouvel.
She earned her BA at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris, her Masters at the Technical University in Vienna, and is a registered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, a fellow at the German Chambers of Architects and registered at the British Institute of Interior Design.
Marrying this international design experience with in-depth local knowledge and a font of international cultural references, Johanna’s practice is highly respected for its integrity, transparency, and ability to run multi-faceted developments with a calm professionalism – on time and to budget.
With her trademark attention to detail, Johanna’s elegant, architecturally ingenious and exquisitely rendered work has won clients from all over the world, as well as earning the goodwill of local planning and conservation departments.
Johanna is also respected for her knowledge of, and passionate commitment to, the arts. She has designed public and private galleries for national institutions and individual collectors, and art plays a huge role in her personal and professional life.
Since its foundation in London in 2002, Johanna Molineus Architects has become renowned not only for innovative and sensitive design but for excellent working practices.
We work with a wide variety of private clients and national and private institutions on a diverse, international portfolio of residential, commercial, conservation and retail projects. To date our portfolio includes projects in the UK, Germany, France, the United States and the Middle East.
Whatever the size and scope of each commission, we apply our experience and expertise to bring the client's vision to life, to the highest standards. We are equally adept at working with modest projects in the tens of thousands as we are with multi-million-pound developments – creative, ingenious, and well-built solutions are always found.
Blending flawless design with technical acumen, Johanna Molineus Architects creates buildings and environments that honour their heritage while showcasing the best of contemporary craftsmanship and sophisticated modernity that stand the test of time.
