These houses are beautiful studies in Arts and Crafts design. The influential Red House, designed for William Morris in 1859, is a seminal ‘modern’ building, conceived as a whole both inside and out. Melsetter House was designed by William Lethaby, a disciple of Morris and Webb; it embodies the principles of simplicity, strength and harmony with nature. Goddards was one of several Arts and Crafts houses which Lutyens designed in Surrey, and is notable for his subtle handling of materials and colours. While the three buildings vary in setting, they share common themes and studying them together allows the reader a deeper insight into the development of Arts and Crafts domestic architecture.

These commissions share similarities – they were each undertaken for powerful local figures – but also possess unique characteristics; by looking at them together, one can decipher common Arts and Crafts predilections and examine the different responses of the architects...

Three outstanding "public" buildings from different countries demonstrate how Arts and Crafts architects worked within varying environments.

The authors of these volumes describe how each building responds to its context, while examining its unique character. Studying the buildings in one volume enables the reader to decipher their shared influences along with the larger historical and geographical contexts...
