George Bond

Artist Luke Smile painted his vibrant typographic take on the phenomenal story of George Bond. Bond was a prolific local architect and surveyor, responsible for designing dozens of buildings across Medway. Despite dying in 1914, his legacy lives on through his vast portfolio of beautiful and thoughtful buildings, ranging from the Brook Theatre to entire housing estates, and grand villas to shops along Luton Road. It is believed that All Saints Church in Magpie Hall Road was his final design before his death. Luke Smile brought Bond’s story to life through his bespoke 3D letters, and in places turned the letters on their sides to give the impression of architecture, linking subtly to Bond himself.
