 Flat Roofed House in February 2008 The Flat Roofed House was built in the 1930s, Backlins and Whitsun are of post WW2 construction. [ No further information about, the latter two houses - can you help ? ] Flat Roof is an unusual building to find in a Chiltern village and must have seemed strange to the Frieth residents of 1934/5, built in the style of English Modernism. It was designed by the well known architect of the time Colin Lucas for Mrs Margaret Sewell and her daughter Phillada in the then very modern reinforced concrete style more usually found in town buildings. [ Sue and Chris Munro write : As you already know the house is fairly unique not only for Frieth but in the entire country. English Heritage, The 20th Century Society, RIBA, The Sunday Times and DocoMomo have published articles since we bought and restored the house. Furthermore it has a whole chapter written on it in a newly published book about Connell, Ward & Lucas ]  Backlins in 2009 |
