GREAT BRITAIN. SOME NOTES ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS In considering the work which has come under our notice since the last issue of The Studio Year Book appeared it is encouraging to find that there appears to be no sign of a retrogressive tendency in British Domestic Architecture, and that the high standard reached during recent years has been well maintained. While those architects whose position is already established have continued to produce excellent work, and thereby enhance their reputations, there are amongst the younger men many who show considerable promise; whose work is distinguished by qualities which indicate a thorough training and sound principles as regards design, construction, and practicability. When we consider the important bearing all this has on the domestic life and artistic beauty of our towns and country there is every reason for satisfaction. Any falling away from the high standard reached would very soon reveal itself in our surroundings, and we should probably relapse into a period as featureless and inartistic as that which characterised the greater part of the last century. If further proof were required of the healthy condition of this branch of art in Great Britain it may be seen in the appreciation which the work of our architects continues to find outside this country. Not only from the Continent, but from almost all parts of the world commissions have come to British architects, and in this respect special mention should be made of the individual and artistic work of Mr. Baillie Scott, whose art was never held in higher esteem than it is to-day. Last year we gave several illustrations of a large house designed by him and erected in the neighbourhood of Regent’s Park, London. As a frontispiece to this volume we show a coloured drawing of a house, totally different in character, designed for a client at Short Hills, New Jersey, who desired to have reproduced some of the qualities of old English half-timber work. How successfully Mr. Baillie Scott has fulfilled these wishes may be judged from our plate. There was in the district a plentiful supply of chestnut timber, and this has been extensively utilised. As will be seen by the plan, the main entrance is placed at the side of the covered entrance to the inner court. From this one enters the reception hall, which is connected with the principal living-rooms by a wide doorway. Beyond, in the main block of the building, are the dining-room and, in the wing which forms the side of the court, the kitchen premises. On the first floor there are eight bedrooms and four bath-rooms, the space over the covered entrance being used for an oratory. The roofs are covered with English hand-made tiles. On pages 43 and 44 are some illustrations of cottages at Romford

Page 11

GREAT BRITAIN designed by Mr. Baillie Scott, whose sound, practical views on the question of cheap cottages are fully expounded in an article appearing in the March number of THE STUDIO. If the elevations of these Romford cottages do not call for any special mention, the picturesque simplicity and quiet homeliness of the three interiors shown cannot fail to appeal to the lover of the true English cottage style. The house at Hubborn, near Christchurch (p. 12), designed by Mr. J. H. Brewerton, is situated on a delightful gorse-covered plateau, having extensive views over the Avon valley and Christchurch Bay, with Hengistbury Head and the Purbeck Hills in the distance. A house was required of a plain homely type, and with as few painted surfaces as possible, and the architect has given character and dignity to the elevation by adopting parapet walls instead of the usual eaves, and has left plain surfaces which give a quiet feeling of repose. The dark red bricks, flared and broken in colour, already resemble old brickwork, and the roofs, covered with Bishop Waltham tiles, harmonise in colour with the walls. The interior is simply and practically planned and finished. The Entrance Lodge at Canford Cliffs (p. 11), by the same architect, is situated amongst the pines on a site overlooking Bournemouth Bay. It is built with Purbeck stone base and brick walls, rough-cast with cement, the roof being covered with dark red Bishop Waltham tiles. As it was essential to keep the building as low as possible dormer windows became a necessity, and the architect has been successful in making these an interesting feature in the design and has obtained a general effect of quiet repose, enhanced by the beauty of the surrounding pines. The ideas which governed the design of Messrs. R. A. Briggs and Browning’s house at Furze Hill (p. 13) were the long wide piazza on the ground floor, the long veranda above, and the free Greek style, simple in character, which was required. Also the question of economy in construction had to be considered. A free Doric order formed the basis of the design of the columns, etc., and a mansard roof was introduced for purposes of economy. Two of the principal rooms, viz. the hall and drawing-room, have direct light besides that from the windows towards the piazza. The exterior walls are covered with rough-cast and the roof with Italian tiles. Of the three designs by Messrs. Castle and Warren which are illustrated, that for a house at St. George’s Hill (p. 15) is of special interest on account of the skilful treatment and sound principles it displays. The site is an extensive one, and the house and gardens are planned so that they will command a fine view of the country for many miles round. The best rooms are to be grouped upon the
