History
Murray Church is a London-born architect who has spent much of his life working in Germany and Luxembourg and has contributed to projects across the World. His work in Germany is perhaps most notable as partner in charge at Heinle, Wischer and Partners and designed the Olympic Village for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, subject of a recent book “Das Olympische Dorf München” by Dr. Natalie Heger.
The distinctive ziggurat accommodation blocks were architecturally innovative and beautifully designed. They also became the backdrop for the notorious hostage incident involving the Palestinian group Black September and eleven Israeli athletes.
Other projects completed by Church include Jeddah Airport, T2 at Budapest Airport, T1 at Warsaw Airport, the European Office of Statistics in Luxembourg and many other substantial buildings.
The house in Cornworthy was designed by Church as a country base and is one of only a very few number of projects that he has completed in the UK.
