John Nash

John Nash (18 January 1752 – 13 May 1835) was a Welsh architect responsible for much of the layout of Regency London and the design of the Buckingham Palace under King George IV.

In around 1826, John was commissioned by King George to redesign the Buckingham House into a palace. The redesign last until 1829, when John was fired for the extravagance of his designs and budget which ballooned to about half a million pounds. Nevertheless, the palace was completed in 1830.^[1]
