After running a building company in London, George Mayes from Boon now designs bespoke, high end modular structures for a range of clients. His builds have a real architectural difference while keeping sustainability in mind, and have been featured on Airbnb’s most wish listed properties.
How was Boon born?
Coming from a creative family my dad was a boat builder – I've always loved designing and creating.
After studying Architecture at University I went to London and set up a building company, dealing with all aspects of building projects there for about 15 years. Noticing flaws with onsite construction, had me thinking of ideas and ways to be more efficient. I saw a gap in the market for high end, bespoke modular buildings and it meant I could set up work in my own workshop, use quality and make something really exciting.
That was about three years ago and since then I’ve kind of just carried on!
