| Synopsis: |
Sir Edward Lutyens is probably best known for his classical masterpiece the Viceroy's House in New Delhi. However his career began with a group of cleverly designed Arts and Crafts Houses in his native Surrey. Goddards is one of Sir Edward Lutyens' most complete Arts and Crafts houses, and this book presents the building in detail, using drawings, and archival and recent photography. It was completed in 1900 as a rest home for "ladies of small means" and was extended to become a family house for its original owner by Lutyens in 1910, thus giving the house its remarkable shape. It was Luytens' first symmetrical Arts and Crafts house, notable for his subtle handling of materials and colours. The garden by Gertrude Jekyll, with whom Luytens often collaborated, is well preserved and maintained. Now owned by the Luytens Trust, the house has been recently opened to the public. |
