Synopsis

Explore a 1911 snapshot of English home design, with detailed plans and evocative photography.

This edition presents a curated look at recent English domestic architecture, showcasing a variety of houses built for contemporary living. Rich with floor plans, site notes, and architect’s commentary, it gives readers a clear sense of how early 20th‑century designers solved everyday living needs while balancing beauty and economy.

This volume pairs archival photographs with measured drawings, updated construction details, and notes on materials and craftsmanship. You’ll see the work of several prominent architects of the era, alongside projects by smaller practices that reveal the era’s broader approach to suburban and country houses. The collection emphasizes practical design choices—room sizes, circulation, and garden integration—alongside the pleasure of an appealing exterior.
  • Read concise introductions to each project that explain the site, budget, and design goals.
  • Compare ground- and first-floor plans, elevations, and decorative details from multiple houses.
  • Learn how builders and craftsmen contributed to the finished result, from brickwork to timber finishes.
  • See how this period balanced modest scale with stylish, livable interiors.
Ideal for readers of architectural history, design enthusiasts, and homeowners seeking period inspiration for domestic architecture.
