EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Farnley Hey, a stunning architectural gem nestled in the picturesque village of Farnley Tyas, West Yorkshire. Taken by the talented photographer James O. Davies, this image captures the essence of Peter Womersley's visionary design from 1954-5. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the double height living room, which exudes an air of grandeur and sophistication. Bathed in natural light pouring through expansive windows, every detail within this space seems carefully curated to create a harmonious blend of form and function. Womersley's genius is evident in every corner; his meticulous attention to detail can be seen in the seamless integration of modernist elements with traditional features. The clean lines and minimalist aesthetic are beautifully juxtaposed against rustic wooden beams that add warmth and character to the space. Listed as Grade II by Historic England, Farnley Hey stands as a testament to post-war architecture at its finest. This iconic structure effortlessly combines innovation with timeless elegance, making it an enduring symbol of British design excellence. James O. Davies' masterful composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this architectural marvel from afar while capturing its true essence up close. With each glance at this mesmerizing photo print, one cannot help but appreciate both Womersley's ingenuity and Davies' ability to capture its allure so flawlessly.
