Recent Designs in Domestic Architecture
HOUSE AT HIND HEAD (GARDEN SIDE)
CHARLES SPOONER, ARCHITECT
This month we give the plans and two
views of a house at Hindhead designed
by the same architect. In this example
the plan is arranged on the simplest lines,
and while there has been no attempt to
attain a rigid symmetry in the elevations,
the simplicity of the practically unbroken
oblong shape of the house, repeated in
the unbroken lines of the eaves, helps
to achieve a certain unity and balance
which even the marked irregularity of
the fenestration on the entrance eleva-
tion fails to altogether dispel. The
pleasant and quiet character of the build-
ing is due probably to the absence of
any laborious striving for effect; there
are none of those little affectations
noticeable even in otherwise good ex-
amples of present-day domestic architec-
ture. The plan is an extremely good
one, all the rooms conveniently placed,
the large ones looking towards the
gardens, with the less important ones
and the staircases arranged on the side
towards the road. The walls externally
are covered with that most convenient of
XALEoft-
