EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking modernist house, located in the picturesque village of Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire, was designed by architect Rose Elisabeth Benjamin in 1936. The house, built primarily in reinforced concrete, is a testament to the innovative and forward-thinking design sensibilities of the modernist movement. Rose Elisabeth Benjamin was a trailblazing architect who defied the traditional norms of her time, embracing the sleek lines, open floor plans, and minimalist aesthetic that would come to define modernist architecture. The house in Gerrards Cross is a prime example of her vision, with its clean, geometric lines and large expanses of glass that blur the boundary between indoors and out. The photograph, believed to have been taken circa 1937, captures the house in its early years, with its pristine concrete surfaces still gleaming in the sunlight. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, with trees and shrubs providing a natural contrast to the sleek, modern lines of the building. Despite its modernist pedigree, the house remains a beloved and integral part of the Gerrards Cross community. Its unique design and historic significance continue to inspire and captivate, making it a must-see destination for architecture enthusiasts and design aficionados alike. Rose Elisabeth Benjamin's groundbreaking work in modernist architecture paved the way for a new era in residential design, and this house in Gerrards Cross stands as a proud reminder of her vision and legacy.
