Abstract:		 This project was undertaken prior to the demolition of a house at 43a West Common, Harpenden in advance of redevelopment. A photographic survey of the building was undertaken. The house was built between 1959 and 1962 in the western half of the garden of 43 West Common. It was the last building designed by the architect Anthony Williams ARIBA before he moved into component design and signage. In its original form the house was L-shaped, arranged along the eastern and northern sides of a terrace. In 1973 the house was extended by the addition of a northern wing, producing the T-shaped plan. The copper covering of the roofs was also added in 1973. The building has features characteristic of the modernist domestic architecture of the time. It has a simple form with an unbroken roof-line and eaves, contrasted with the vertical lines formed by glazed panels and doors. The central feature of the house is an open plan living space. Throughout the building, the rooms are open to roof-level. Natural materials are used extensively with cedar cladding externally. Inside, wood, cork, hessian and brick form contrasting surfaces and textures.
