EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of photographs showcases the modernist semi-detached houses at Ruislip, a suburban area in west London, designed by architects Colin Anderson Lucas, Amyas Douglas Connell, and Basil Robert Ward in 1935. The houses, which are circa 1937, are a testament to the architects' innovative use of modern design principles and materials. Constructed in monolithic reinforced concrete, these modernist dwellings were a departure from the traditional red-brick houses that dominated the British suburban landscape at the time. The architects' vision was to create functional, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing homes that reflected the spirit of the modern age. The photographs provide a glimpse into the unique angles and perspectives of these iconic buildings, revealing their sleek lines, clean forms, and minimalist design. The use of concrete as the primary building material lends a sense of solidity and permanence, while the large windows allow for an abundance of natural light to flood the interiors. These houses were not only groundbreaking in their design but also in their construction methods. The monolithic reinforced concrete technique used in their construction was a relatively new building method in the UK at the time, and the Ruislip houses are considered some of the earliest examples of its use in residential architecture. The March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the history of modernist architecture in the UK, showcasing these iconic houses in all their glory. The photographs transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the vision and innovation of the architects who designed them over eighty years ago.
