Description

The 1930s House Explained The 1930s saw a significant shift in English house design, as the country's house-building boom made home ownership more accessible to families with modest means. This period was marked by the emergence of modern flat-roofed Art Deco villas, alongside detached and semidetached mock Tudor styles. Many homes featured both front and rear gardens, and interiors were designed to be fashionable, incorporating new domestic inventions like the wireless and vacuum cleaner. Trevor Yorke's book provides a comprehensive guide to the style and design of 1930s houses, using his own drawings, diagrams, and photographs to illustrate key aspects of the period. The book is profusely illustrated, with a glossary of architectural terms to help date and understand the period details. Whether you're renovating, tracing the history of your own house, or simply interested in this notable period, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the 1930s house. Trevor Yorke, a full-time artist and designer, brings his expertise to this title, which is part of a series of books exploring the history of various types of houses.
