"Upper Lawn stands as a contemplative retreat that embodies the Smithsons' ideals, offering a blend of rustic elegance and an exploration of modernist transparency."
"This architectural work reflects not just a physical structure but a material diary, capturing the essence of dwelling and the passage of time."
Upper Lawn, designed by architects Alison and Peter Smithson, is a unique retreat in Wiltshire that they used from 1959 until 1982. This glass box home, nestled in a picturesque garden with historic stone walls and beech trees, exemplifies the Smithsons' modernist approach, focusing more on an attitude of building than a specific style. Its design serves as a laboratory for ideas that influenced their larger projects. Currently, it is on the market, having been cherished by its last owners for over two decades.
