Project
9A Windsor, Worthing
AP144.S2.D32
Description:
File documents an executed project for a garden pavilion and pool in Worthing, West Sussex, England, for the two children of Mr and Mrs T. L. Blau. The design includes "anti-adult" elements such as the pavilion's low ceiling and a steep, open stair leading to an upper deck. The children assisted with the construction and were given notes concerning the pavilion's long-term maintenance. Untreated cedar boards were used for the pavilion's exterior due to the site's close proximity to the sea. In addition to working drawings, the file contains a site plan of existing conditions, design development sketches of alternative layouts for pavilion, pool and deck areas. Material in this file was produced between 1962 and 1975, but predominantly 1962. File contains working drawings, photographic material, and textual records.
