Recent Designs for Domestic Architecture
Mr. Walter Cave's two
houses here illustrated—
Warren Mount, Oxshott,
and Belgaum, Woking
—are both very character-
istic of their clever and
resourceful designer.
Warren Mount is covered
with cream-coloured
rough-cast, with red tiles
for the roof and gables,
and a brick terrace runs
all the way round the
building. Belgaum,
Woking, is also in rough-
cast, with red tiles.
Messrs. Bedford & Kit-
son's Redhill, Headingley,
was finished some two
years ago. It stands in a
very high and exposed
house at kbnilworth messrs. buckland & farmer, architects position On the Outskirts Of

is constructed of quarry-

shadow compensates in part for this. The piazza,
