Rezension

A very readable and attractive book, and managers to be totally accessible to the non-specialist, without patronising the knowledgeable reader-indeed its themes and ideas a stimulating for all.' (C2O Magazine, June 2012)

Beautifully written and illustrated' (RIBA Journal, July 2012)

'Stunning colour photographs are accompanied by detailed layout plans and drawing...an accessible and entertaining read. (Journal iof the Islington Archaeology & History Society, July 2012)

Well-illustrated and fluently written. (Country Life, 8th August)

'An illuminating book...for those with even a passing interest in domestic architecture, this is a book to refer to again and again.' (House & Garden, November 2012)

'The Life of the British Home is neither a coffee table book nor a guide book. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully presented, it advances a new perspective on a subject that, elsewhere, has a tendency to look tired and repetitive.' (Context, March 2013)

'Overall it has to be one of the more beautiful books published in the field of architectural history.' (SPAB Magazine, October 2013)
