Past Projects
Francis spent over 20 years working with his father the eminent classical architect Quinlan Terry. The projects below were designed under that partnership.

House in Ireland
This new house, completed in 2013, was designed by Quinlan and Francis Terry – their last collaborative project before Francis set up an independent practice – and constructed on the site of a late 18thCentury house, in a fine, mature landscape park. In 2015 it was awarded the Georgian Group’s inaugural Diaphoros Award for original, transcendent Classical design.

Addition of Wings to house in Dorset
Built by Quinlan and Francis Terry in 2000-02, the house in Dorset is a serene, dignified, four-square classical pile inspired by Palladio. Built of materials far finer than brick and stucco it is remarkable for combining four different stones which provide a range of subtly varied colours.

House in Regent's Park, London
This magnificent new mansion, built in 2003-10 from designs by Quinlan and Francis Terry, began as a simple classical villa built by Decimus Burton in 1827 as part of John Nash’s plans for his Picturesque layout of Regent’s Park.

Queen Mother Square, Poundbury, Dorset
The Duchy of Cornwall began the creation of Poundbury in 1993 following a master plan commissioned by the Prince of Wales from Leon Krier. Quinlan and Francis Terry were commissioned in 2004 to design the main central space of Poundbury, Queen Mother Square.
-
264-267 Tottenham Court Road, London
The London Borough of Camden was wise enough to suggest that the replacement for this Victorian Gothic building should be in harmony with these two classical neighbours. The original proposal was designed by Quinlan Terry following the first meeting, and the final scheme varied little from this.
-
Recovery Centre
Turning a former stately home like Tedworth House into a Personal Recovery Centre for wounded soldiers is a very untypical project for the office to be involved with and it came by a rather obscure route.
-
The Margaret Thatcher Infirmary
Quinlan Terry determined that the new building that he and Francis were commissioned to design in 2001 and which was built in 2006-8 should raise and not lower the spirits of those who entered it.
-
The Oratory
The Oratory, which is the first religious building at Poundbury, is a modest but elegant chapel of yellow stock brick with an entrance front defined by four stone pilasters.
