Description: | In the 1960s the Daily Mail newspaper was the paper read by conservative middle England. The house plans in this book reflect the aspirations of that audience. The family homes represented were spacious and 'contemporary' with a small 'c'. They draw from the softer American modernist style of housing, rather than on traditional English architecture.
The book also has a section of house plans drawn from exhibits in the Ideal Home exhibition of 1960. And in 1960 they wanted bungalows - from 'The Berg Bungalow' to 'The Queensbury Bungalow', they were all laid out in this book for local builders or aspiring DIYers to copy.
The book also advises on styles of wallpaper, fireplaces and reports on the 'revolution in plastics' within home furnishings. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | Associated Newspapers Ltd | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1960 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
