The term "maisonette" may evoke different images for different people, but in England, particularly in Tyne and Wear's Byker area, it holds a special significance. Tom Collins House, nestled within the iconic Byker Wall, is one such example of these unique dwellings. From an architectural axonometric perspective they can essentially flats that span over two floors. They offer a distinct living experience with their own charm and character. R Norman Shaw, an esteemed architect whose litho work showcases his talent, has contributed to the design of these remarkable homes. Illustrations from various sources shed light on the diverse nature of maisonettes across England. In G Van Laar's Magazine of Garden Gems, we catch a glimpse of "Maisonette" in East Sheen through an enchanting engraving. Meanwhile, Michael Walters' artwork captures the essence of Woodside Maisonettes in Sheffield on August 13th, 1962. Even prominent figures have been associated with maisonettes throughout history. Mr Peter Walker, Secretary of State for Wales at the time, can be seen alongside Reverend [name] as they explore these innovative spaces together. Mr Walker also took part in opening a reconditioned block during his visit. Photographs further highlight R Norman Shaw's contributions to this architectural style. A black-and-white photo showcases his expertise and attention to detail when it comes to designing maisonettes. Lastly but not leastly - even amidst historic events like World War I - maisonettes played their part. In 1916 during the Battle of Somme (Somme being a region), these unique homes were still present and served as reminders that life goes on despite adversity.
