EDITORS COMMENTS
These pair of photographs offer a captivating glimpse into the modernist architectural masterpiece located in Rugby, Warwickshire, designed by the visionary architect Serge Ivan Chermayeff in 1934. The image on the left showcases the front facade of the house, with its clean lines and geometric forms, typical of the modernist style. But what sets this property apart is the cantilevered reinforced concrete balcony, extending gracefully from the upper level, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The balcony's sleek design adds an element of elegance and sophistication, while also emphasizing the house's connection to the outdoors. The image on the right provides an alternate perspective, revealing the house's side profile and the seamless integration of glass walls, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces. The use of concrete, glass, and steel in the construction of this modernist home was revolutionary for its time, reflecting Chermayeff's commitment to functional design and innovative materials. These photographs, estimated to be taken circa 1937, offer a rare and intriguing look into the past, showcasing the beauty and ingenuity of this modernist gem in Rugby, Warwickshire. The March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online preserves and shares such historical treasures, offering us a glimpse into the rich architectural heritage of the past.
