***Save Eric Lyons house in Ham from demolition*** ***Save Eric Lyons house in Ham from demolition*** Object by 29th April link in bio- My grandfather William Bowles commissioned Eric Lyons to design 25 Ham Farm Road in 1958. The brief was to meet the needs of the family as a whole caring for my disabled grandmother with Parkinson’s disease caused by the shock of landmines landing and taking out a street of 49 houses by their shop in Richmond. Lyons designed a house that allowed the family to care for her on one level, in the later stages of her illness with dignity, in earshot and a beautiful, uplifting space. The house has a steel frame construction and is largely glass and wood windows with cedar cladding and white marble terrazzo floors throughout on split levels. The roof is copper clad. My grandfather was a greengrocer and loved horticulture and he was still able to enjoy his plant/conservatory room and garden. Liberated from caring in Victorian houses my family could keep an eye on my grandmother and each other and care in inspiring building. The house is modest in design from the front and exciting in form from the rear. It brought sunshine into my family’s life and left it’s mark on them. This was pivotal moment in post war design and architecture. Eric Lyons designed a modest house for a rising working class family in humble materials, much like he did for Parkleys flats. It’s biggest luxury was the space. Ham is an enclave of an extraordinary group of mid century architecture including Stirling and Gowan’s Langham House Close where I was born and returned 30 years later. It will be all the poorer if Eric Lyons rare privately commissioned house 25 Ham Farm Road is lost from this group. #midcenturymodern #postwararchitecture #ericlyons #ericlyonsarchitecture #ericlyonsandspan #spanhousing #spandevelopments #disabilityawareness #caringwithdignity

Crafted to last and finished to sit in the landsca Crafted to last and finished to sit in the landscape of a conservation setting. Final patination underway of this commission of a light for a London garden. Many hours of discussions over design of details and finish to enable ongoing maintenance of this external weathered fixture. Many thanks to @cleo.dickson of Pasfield and Park Interiors for bringing us on to this project and trusting us with such an open brief to design and craft a very special garden light for her client. #craft #landscapelighting #craft #handmade #chelseaflowershow #commission #landscapedesign
