- Arthur Joseph Davis RA (21 May 1878, Kensington, London – 22 July 1951, Kensington, London) was an English architect. Davis studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris in the 1890s. He was the co-partner in the firm Mewes & Davis, with Charles Mewès. The firm designed the elevations and interior decoration of the London Ritz Hotel which introduced modern French comfort and luxury enabled by an innovative steel frame construction. In addition, the partnership took on numerous private commissions including Luton Hoo for Sir Julius Wernher, Coombe Court for Countess De Grey and Polesden Lacey for the Hon Mrs Ronald Greville. Prior to World War I, Davis worked on a number of ocean liners such as the Aquitania (1911–14); and after his military service he designed a number of banks in London. His last major commission was the Queen Mary (1935). In 1949 he gave his recreations as golf and water-colour sketching. (en)
- Arthur Joseph Davis (21 mai 1878 - 22 juillet 1951) est un architecte britannique du début du XXe siècle. Après des études à l'École des beaux-arts de Paris, il s'associe au Français Charles Mewès pour former la société Mewès et Dawis. Ils conçoivent ensemble l'Hôtel Ritz de Londres, qui contribue à introduire l'architecture française au Royaume-Uni. Ils participent également à l'agrandissement de Luton Hoo, et de Polesden Lacey. Seul, il conçoit les intérieurs du paquebot de la Cunard Line Aquitania, tandis que son collègue se charge dans le même temps de paquebots allemands concurrents. Le navire est particulièrement apprécié, et son style plébiscité. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, Davis conçoit plusieurs établissements bancaires londoniens. Son dernier travail consiste à concevoir les intérieurs du paquebot Queen Mary dans les années 1930. (fr)
