Greville Stuart Rhodes [commonly known as Greville Rhodes] was born in Hayfield, Derbyshire, England on 8 March 1916. He studied at the Architectural Association School and was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA) in 1938. In 1939 he was one of the eleven founding members of the Architects’ Co-operative Partnership (ACP) [in 1951 renamed the Architects’ Co-Partnership (ACP)], an architectural co-operative all of whom attended the AA School.
The ACP was dissolved in September 1939 following the outbreak of World War Two. It was re-formed in 1946 by Rhodes and seven other members. However Rhodes left ACP 1947 to practice independently. He was a partner in the architectural firm Norman & Daburn who oversaw the rebuilding of Imperial College, London. From the mid-1960s he worked on the design of new buildings for his old school, Bedales, in Steep in Hampshire, including the Headmaster's House in 1973.
