EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Modernist House at Wentworth, located in the picturesque village of Virginia Water. Designed by the visionary architect Oliver Falvey Hill in 1935, this modernist masterpiece was completed around 1937. The house is a testament to Hill's innovative design sensibilities and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of architectural aesthetics during that era. The exterior finish of the house is distinguished by its pristine white distemper on render. The distemper technique, a traditional method of applying a mixture of finely ground pigments and water to a wall, lends a unique texture and subtle sheen to the house's facade. The render, a smooth plaster finish, adds to the modernist minimalism of the design, creating a striking contrast against the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. The Modernist House at Wentworth is a significant architectural landmark, embodying the sleek lines, clean forms, and open floor plans that characterize modernist design. Hill's design was ahead of its time, and the house continues to inspire architects and design enthusiasts alike with its timeless beauty and innovative use of materials. This photograph, taken circa 1937, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when modernist design was just beginning to take root in the world of architecture. The Modernist House at Wentworth stands as a testament to Hill's vision and the enduring appeal of modernist design.
