This architect designed his country's first self-supporting spiral staircase, the Tulip stairs. One building designed by this architect was refaced with Portland stone in the 19th century, and is topped by a large balustrade that caps a row of seven windows and alternating Ionic and Corinthian pilasters. This architect designed costumes for performances of The Hue and Cry After Cupid and The Masque of Blackness, and used a double-cube design for the interior of a building whose ceiling is decorated with Rubens' Apotheosis of James I. That building designed by this man is the only remaining part of a destroyed complex a few blocks from Parliament in London.
