156. Patrick Gwynne /// Homewood /// Esher, Surrey, UK /// 1938

OfHouses guest curated by Adam Štěch: “Le Corbusier's ideas also inspired the debut of the British cult architect Patrick Gwynne who, among other things, is the author of the Serpentine Pavilion restaurant in London's Hyde Park. At the age of 25, he built a functionalist residence for his parents. Homewood, which is now also open to the public, later became his own home and a laboratory to test his original modernist concepts. The glass-enclosed residential block resting on brick piles opens to the landscape. The interior spaces of the house are artfully decorated with fashionable art-deco features, creating a highly eclectic environment where luxurious materials are combined in unexpected solutions. Gwynne became famous especially in the postwar years, when he focused on the design of artfully conceived luxury private residences.“ (Photos 1-8 © Adam Štěch, Lucy Spiers, Architects' Journal Buildings Library.)

Watch Treasure in Trust A short film from 1996 about the National Trust. It features a rare interview with architect Patrick Gwynne, in the house he designed and lived in 'The Homewood' until he died. Gwynne left the house to the National Trust in his will.

A lovely outdoor service cabinet, hovering a perfect height from the deck and an exterior artwork created later by an artist friend of Gwynne's, sits in a window panel.
