| Gallery label | This is a presentation drawing fora proposed new detached house in Luton, The architect has scarcely considered the garden but it is nevertheless an important part of the design. A substantial front lawn not only frames the house but also suggests space, privacy and a prosperous neighbourhood. Like its neighbour, this household would require the services of a gardener.(2005) |
