Our Summary
- Among the first to question and challenge modernist approaches to design and urban planning, they helped form the core tenets of brutalism: low-cost modularity, material focus, and purity and, most importantly for the Smithsons, buildings that reflected their inhabitants and location
Description
Upper Lawn, a renowned example of modern architecture, was designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, pioneers of brutalism, in the 1950s. The house, nestled in a peaceful Wiltshire countryside setting, was their retreat for creating and communing with nature. After 23 years, the property is now for sale. The Smithsons, a husband-and-wife architectural duo, were known for their innovative and radical designs, and Upper Lawn embodies their most significant architectural ideas. The house features extensive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, timber-framed structures, and a simple material palette. The interior design is characterized by a masterful use of space, light, and natural materials, with original features such as a solid oak staircase and handmade joinery. The property also boasts a beautiful garden and a secluded, natural setting, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a connection with nature.
