EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1937, showcases a group of modernist houses nestled in the picturesque village of Tewin, Hertfordshire. Among them stands out a striking residence, designed by visionary architect Mary B. Crowley in 1936. The house, with its distinctive modernist flair, boasts walls in warm, rustic brick and a timber roof adorned with elegant blue Staffordshire pantiles. Mary Crowley, a pioneering figure in British modernist architecture, pushed the boundaries of traditional design with her innovative use of materials and bold geometric forms. This residence, with its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, is a testament to her groundbreaking approach. The brick walls, reminiscent of the local vernacular, seamlessly blend the house into its rural setting while the timber roof and blue pantiles add a contemporary touch. The photograph, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when modernist architecture was making its mark on the British landscape. The image not only showcases the architectural prowess of Mary Crowley but also highlights the unique character of Tewin and its rich architectural heritage.
