Julian was educated at Mowden Hall School, Stocksfield, Northumberland, and Winchester College before studying architecture at King's College, Cambridge (MA, 1967).

His work in the UK includes The Old Gaol, Abingdon (RIBA Award 1976), new interiors at Castle Howard (Carpenters' Award 1984), projects for Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, the reconstruction of the Hunterian Museum for the Royal College of Surgeons [4] and other projects involving sensitivity to complex historical contexts.
