Park, Hilary June 1920 - 2018

Hilary June Park [also known as June Park was born in 1920 and was the daughter of the portrait photographers Bertram Park (1883-1972) and Yvonne Gregory (1889-1970). In 1938 she enrolled at the Architectural Association in London where she was taught by Felix Samuely (1902-1959) and Frederick Gibberd (1908-1984). After graduating, she worked for a few years in the offices of Gibberd and Edward Mills (1915-1998) before starting her own practice in 1945. Two photographs, four elevations, a plan and a brief description of a small house designed by June Park are featured in 'Decorative Art' 1950-51 (pp.10, 11). Other projects by her included a private house in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire (1946); Barclay Secondary School in Stevenage, Hertfordshire (with Yorke Roseberg & Mardall, 1947); a house in Harlow, Hertfordshire (1948); and the conversion of two houses for the Finnish Legation in Belgravia, London (1949).

During the 1970s and 1980s she was in partnership with her second husband Cyril Leonard Sjöström Mardall (1909-1994) in the firm C. Mardall & June Park and worked on projects in the West Indies and Ireland. Park was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA) in 1944. She was the author of two books: Houses and Bungalows (1958) and Houses for Today (1971).
