Abstract
'Architects' houses tend to be interesting not because they inevitably exceed either on practical or aesthetic grounds the work done in the normal way, but because they are in a sense snatches of autobiography.'...'in the architect's own house the only conflicting circumstances that have to be contended with are economic or material - there are no external problems of taste'...'In this freedom lies the possibility of greatness or weakness.' p19
