Modernist house, Bristol.

Nice to see the original front door still in place here and I commend the owner for the choice of colour, which goes rather well with the cream exterior. The unvarying white of such houses becomes wearisome.

I wonder if that deep parapet disguises a pitched roof. It might have been foreseen that flat roofs would be a no-no in England. This is one way of having your cake and eating it.

Built for the Bristol Ideal Homes Exhibition, 1937.
