George Alexander Nuttall-Smith [also known as G. A. Nuttall Smith] was born in Enniskerry, Wicklow, Ireland on 24 February 1902 and studied at the Architectural Association in London.
He practised as an architect from the late 1920s and in 1933 formed a partnership in Oxford with David Booth (1908-1962) as Nuttall-Smith & Davis Booth.
A photograph of a house near Wallingford, Berkshire, designed by Nuttall-Smith and David Booth is illustrated in 'Decorative Art' 1954-55 (p.10); and a house at Mongwell, Oxfordshire designed by them is discussed in 'Good examples of modern houses in Kent' in 'Architectural Review' February 1938 (p.57, 75).
It would appear that the partnership between Nuttall-Smith was dissolved in 1939 as in that year Booth formed a partnership with the Dutch-born AA-trained architect Judith Ledeboer (1901-1990).
Nuttall-Smith was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA) in 1934. He resigned from the RIBA in 1959 and died in Doves Bay Road, Kerikeri Inlet, Far North, Northland, New Zealand on 15 September 1980
