(b Montreal, 31 July 1890; d London, 23 Sept 1962). English architect. His earliest architectural training was at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and then with J. H. Eastwood (1843-1913). By winning the Henry Jarvis Studentship (1913), De Soissons was entitled to two years at the British School at Rome, but this was interrupted by World War I, and he resumed in 1919. He was briefly in partnership with his fellow Rome scholar, Philip Hepworth (1890-1963), and for a longer period with Grey Wornum, during which time the partnership designed Larkhall Flats (1929), Wandsworth Road, London, and Haig Homes at Liverpool (1929) and Morden, Surrey (1931), all distinguished examples of neo-Georgian style.
