About This Book
An architect documents the planning, design, and execution of a model village developed by a philanthropic trust, presenting measured plans, elevations, and costed examples of cottages alongside photographs and drawings. Practical chapters cover economical construction methods, room sizes and fittings, sanitation and bath options, garden layout, materials and decorative treatments, and the arranging of streets, shops, schools, and open spaces. Interwoven commentary addresses the broader housing problem, the goals of healthy domestic environments, and guidance for advisers and builders seeking to create compact, attractive, and serviceable homes for working families.
