- This 95,000-word, 224-page, monograph is the first substantial and radical reappraisal of Edwardian domestic architecture since the 1970s. Supported by the Paul Mellon Centre, the Marc Fitch Fund and others, it includes 194 images of which 100 newly commissioned from a professional photographer. The study culminates nearly three years’ archival and field research, delving into unpublished diaries and parliamentary debates. Its first published academic review concluded that this was ‘a revisionist text that will cause us to look at Edwardian architecture in an entirely new way’. It has been nominated for the SAHGB’s Alice Davis Hitchcock medallion.
