EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Modernist House at Dartington Hall in Devon, situated in the picturesque town of Totnes. Designed and built in 1936 by visionary architects William Edmond Lescaze and Robert Hening, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to the groundbreaking modernist movement in Britain during the 1930s. The Modernist House was commissioned by a master at Dartington School, an innovative educational institution located within the Dartington Hall Estate. The architects meticulously designed the house with a large studio, specifically tailored for ballet work, reflecting the school's emphasis on the arts and creative expression. The sleek, minimalist design of the house is evident in its clean lines, large expanses of glass, and open floor plan. The architects' use of modern materials, such as steel, concrete, and glass, were revolutionary for the time, creating a harmonious blend of form and function. The photograph, taken circa 1937, captures the essence of the Modernist House at Dartington Hall, with its stunning views of the surrounding Devon countryside. The house's unique design and rich history continue to inspire architects and design enthusiasts alike, making it a cherished piece of modernist architecture in Britain. This photograph is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a glimpse into the past and showcasing the beauty and innovation of modernist architecture in the 1930s.
