Andrew Onraet

Andrew Onraet is a British architect and is founder and principal of AEON Architects.

He first studied at the Kent Institute of Art and Design and later at the Royal College of Art, graduating with an MA in 1994. In between the two, he worked in Berlin and was involved in the unification projects of the city, including the Bundestag and Potsdamer Platz. He was also involved with the Berlin 2000 Olympic bid and sat on a judging panel.

Before setting up AEON he was involved in a number of high-profile projects, including the re-design of the London private members club, The Groucho Club. He also worked extensively with Sainsburys, helping to overhaul the supermarkets' interiors and AEON has recently completed the Maison des Relais & Chateaux, both in London and New York City.[1]

Onraet is the Creative Director and Group Architect for von Essen hotels.[2] As well as having overseen a range of expansion and refurbishment projects for the company, he and his company managed the master planning and design of Hotel Verta, a luxury design-led hotel adjacent to the London heliport, Battesea.[3][4] The hotel, "inspired by the golden age of air travel" opened late in 2010 and was featured on the cover of Sleeper Magazine's November issue.[5]

Onraet has also lectured at the Architectural Association, the Royal College of Art, K.L.C School of Design and the Mackintosh School of Architecture.
