" 'I wish,' he was telling them, 'not just to design a house but to create a whole world. I want to work from the foundations to the interior, the windows, the doorways, the furnishings, the fabric of the place as well as the structure. I will design you a life. Not a mere house to live in, but a whole way of life.' He opened his hands as though the life were there within his grasp. 'Your abode will be a work of art at which people will wonder.' "
That is an extract from the Cornflower Book Group's November book. You will find all the details here, and I hope you'll join us in reading it - all welcome!
What a lovely quotation! We do try to create our own world within our homes I think. Thanks for the links. I loved the photographs - modernism is a favourite (bit of a misnomer all these years on..)
