Sir John Soane's architectural achievements include the Bank of England, the Dulwich Picture Gallery, and the remodelling of country homes such as Wimpole Hall and Aynhoe Park. Dean examines 10 country house projects, reconstructing the creative transactions between client and architect, architect and skilled craftsman and showing Soane's drawings and sketches, as well as the author's own watercolor drawings. This illustrated inventory is the first fully-researched guide to Soane's country house practice, an architectural legacy that has rarely been matched. With photographs by Martin Charles and including a gazetteer.
