Modern House UK

From the Wimbledon home that Richard Rogers designed for his parents to Berthold Lubetkin’s Le Corbusier–inspired Highpoint flats in London’s Highbury neighborhood, the Modern House has brokered the sale of some of the U.K.’s most architecturally significant properties. Now, to celebrate a decade in business, the design-focused, London-based real-estate agency will release an eponymous book (Artiface, $20) later this month, highlighting the most notable modernist homes that have gone on the market over the past ten years.

The new tome is split into four sections—townhouses, conversions, country houses, and apartments—with an introductory essay by journalist and author Jonathan Bell. Each property is extensively detailed through written descriptions and exclusive imagery.

“When Albert and I started the Modern House, we had little idea about the sheer volume and richness of Britain’s modern architectural heritage, and the book is a celebration of what we have discovered, ” says Gibberd. “It has been a privilege for us to have visited a large proportion of the country’s best modern houses and apartments, and to have met the people who built or inspired them. It was a great challenge to narrow down the archive to the very best projects, and there’s more than enough for a sequel.”
