A House For The Suburbs

""A House For The Suburbs: Socially And Architecturally Sketched"" is a book written by Thomas Morris in 1861. The book is a detailed exploration of the ideal house design for the suburbs, both from a social and architectural perspective. Morris believed that the suburbs were a unique environment that required a different approach to housing design than the city or the countryside. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the social aspects of suburban living. Morris argues that the suburbs are a place where families can escape the noise and pollution of the city and enjoy a more peaceful and healthy lifestyle. He discusses the importance of community and how the design of the house can encourage social interaction between neighbors. The second part of the book is devoted to the architectural aspects of suburban housing design. Morris provides detailed sketches and plans for a variety of different house designs, including cottages, villas, and mansions. He discusses the importance of natural light, ventilation, and privacy in the design of the house. Morris also provides advice on the use of materials, such as brick, stone, and wood, and how they can be used to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing design. Overall, ""A House For The Suburbs: Socially And Architecturally Sketched"" is a comprehensive guide to suburban housing design in the mid-19th century. Morris's ideas and designs are still relevant today and continue to influence modern suburban architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
