He became known for his postwar architectural designs working in the European modernist style of Le Corbusier and the American Frank Lloyd Wright.

Isi Israel Metzstein was born in the Mitte district of Berlin in 1928, one of five children.

1933

Isi had an older sister, Lee, an older brother, Josef, a twin sister, Jenny, and a younger brother, Leo, In 1933, Isi's father, Efraim, died leaving his mother to raise the five children on her own.

With his brothers and sisters scattered around the UK, Isi was taken in by a family in Hardgate, Clydebank before they could all be reunited once more, eventually settling in Glasgow.

1945

After leaving Hyndland School in 1945, Metzstein's professional career as an architect began with taking evening classes in architecture at the Glasgow School of Art and an apprenticeship under Jack Coia at Gillespie, Kidd & Coia.

1954

1957

Writing of Isi Metzstein's death for Architectural Review, Clare Wright noted that:"'With a change of ethos post war, Coia ceded much of the design control to the young Isi and Andy. An early project for St Paul’s Church in Glenrothes (1957) is a modest building of simple form and materials, yet exhibits an extraordinary quality of light and monumental presence which owed much to Le Corbusier. The sixteen churches that followed formed a distinctive body of work. Combining functional requirements with resonant symbolism, they were the perfect vehicle for developing an architectural philosophy, which reached its most mature expression in the design for St Peter’s Seminary at Cardross.'"

1967

Metzstein married Danielle (Dany) Kahn in 1967 and the pair had three children, including Saul.
