EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the sleek and innovative Modernist House near Henfield, located in the picturesque town of Horsham. Designed by the visionary team of architects Colin Anderson Lucas, Amyas Douglas Connell, and Basil Robert Ward in 1936, this building represents a significant contribution to the Modernist movement in architecture. The image, estimated to be taken circa 1937, showcases the house's distinctive features, including its flat roof, large expanses of glass, and clean lines. The architects' use of modern materials such as concrete and steel, combined with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, creates a harmonious balance between the man-made and the natural world. Colin Anderson Lucas, Amyas Douglas Connell, and Basil Robert Ward were pioneers in their field, pushing the boundaries of architectural design in post-war Britain. Their work was influenced by the International Style, which emphasized simplicity, functionality, and the use of modern materials. This Modernist House near Henfield is a testament to their vision and innovation, and remains an enduring symbol of the architectural heritage of Horsham and the wider region. The photograph, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past and provides a valuable record of this important architectural landmark. It invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of Modernist design and its ongoing influence on contemporary architecture.
