In Designing the British Post-War Home Fiona Fisher explores the
development of modern domestic architecture in Britain through a
detailed study of the work of the successful Surrey-based
architectural practice of Kenneth Wood. Wood's firm is
representative of a geographically distinct category of post-war
architectural and design practice - that of the small private
practice that flourished in Britain's expanding suburbs after the
removal of wartime building restrictions. Such firms, which played
an important role in the development of British domestic design,
are currently under-represented within architectural histories of
the period. The private house represents an important site in which
new spatial, material and aesthetic parameters for modern living
were defined after the Second World War. Within a British context,
the architect-designed private house remained an important 'vehicle
for the investigation of architectural ideas' by second generation
modernist architects and designers. Through a series of case study
houses, designed by Wood's firm, the book reconsiders the progress
of modern domestic architecture in Britain and demonstrates the
ways in which architectural discourse and practice intersected with
the experience, performance and representation of domestic
modernity in post-war Britain.
