    • Timeline

    Alex Duncan
    Design Director, Interiors, London
    Our constant drive to achieve top quality results on both practical and experiential levels across an enormously diverse range of projects is a compelling source of inspiration and motivation.

    JPA's longest serving UK team member, Alex is responsible for all interior design work coming from the JPA London office.

    Alex joined JPA in 1999 after many years in senior roles at one of the UK’s largest design practices where he worked on a wide range of commercial interiors projects in the hospitality, retail, leisure and tourism sectors.

    As Design Director of JPA’s Interior Design team in London he leads many of the hotel, restaurant and airport lounge projects for the company. Alex has been involved in all of JPA’s more recent luxury train commissions, as well as several aviation interiors projects. These have in turn inspired him to integrate much of the thinking from JPA’s aviation team into his own hospitality contracts.
