Pete Jarvis quietly gets on with creating beauty out of the more or less accidental beauties of Southampton's architectural heritage. King John's palace is a masterpiece of quietly stated craftsmanship which calls for meditative concentration. Detail and overall design are finely balanced to produce the most satisfying work of art.
