Recent Designs in Domestic Architecture
are built in random rubble with a cavity and then
a brick lining 9 in. thick. Oak is used for many
of the doors and for the panelling in the dining-
room, deal being employed elsewhere. The decora-
tive plaster-work which adorns the hall, dining-room,
drawing-room and other parts of the house, was
carried out by Mr. R. M. Catterson-Smith, of
Birmingham. The grounds have been laid out
appropriately.
Another residence completed recently from the
design of Messrs. Buckland and Haywood-Farmer
is “Blyth Court,” EdgbaSton, the private house
of Dr. Battling. It is of brick, with thick white
mortar joints, and the roof is covered with old tiles..
The relative positions of the important rooms are
shown on the plan (p. 45). An interesting feature
is the single apartment at one end, shaded partly
by the arched loggia. This is called the home
room, a title adopted in preference to living-room.
It is the general rendezvous of the house, the
drawiing-room being used only for purposes of
entertainment. The accommodation on the first
floor includes six bedrooms, two dressing-rooms,
two bathrooms and a sewing-room. There is some
notable decorative plastfer-work in the hall, the
overmantel being also in this material; the artists
engaged were Mr. R. M. Catterson-Smith and
Mr. George Cox.
A new house on the outskirts of London is that
erected on the Nasthyde Estate, Hatfield, from the
design of Mr. S. W. Cranfield, A.R.I.B.A. (p. 46).
The walls are of brick, rough-cast, and the
roof is covered with red tiles. The half-timber
gables give an element of picturesqueness to the
exterior: otherwise it is built without elaboration.
The kitchen annexe is a useful feature and is not
unimportant in the design of the house. The
chief rooms are placed naturally round the central
hall and the arrangement of the bedrooms is equally
convenient.
“ Dalbeathie,” the hall of which is illustrated on
page 47, was built for the late E. E. Briggs, R.I.
amidst delightful Highland scenery on the north
bank of the Tay, near Dunkeld. The architects
were Messrs. Mills and Shepherd, FF.R.I.B.A.,
of Dundee. Designed as an artist’s home, with
a view to showing many personal belongings,
decorations and curiosities, the house has many
interesting features. The hall, with its beam
ceiling, oak floors and oak furnishings, is a pleasant
lounge entirely suitable for its purpose.
