Rory is the driving force behind AP Valletta’s Interior Design arm. He read for a BE&A (Hons) in Interior Architecture at Edinburgh University, and before joining AP, worked in London on interiors for branded spaces. Rory is a founding member of MIDA (Malta Interior Design Association) and has been crucial in marrying AP’s interior design ethos with wider industry learnings and research. Joining AP in 2007, Rory’s early projects spanned multiple typologies, with particular focus on residential and hospitality projects.
His most significant project to date was the interior design for Four Sappers Street – a mixed-use development spread across four levels of offices, two retail units, five high-end apartments, and a public piazza. Rory led the project from design to completion, overseeing design direction, coordination and implementation. Rory currently heads the National Book Centre project at AP, which involves the adaptive reuse of an abandoned palazzo in Valletta into the new home of the National Book Council.
