Curtis and Burchett



W.T. Curtis, Middlesex County Architect, and H. W. Burchett, Assistant Architect to the Education Committee, left a lasting legacy in their modernist school design for Middlesex County Council. From 1932 onwards, Curtis and Burchett designed and built many schools in Middlesex based on the style of Dutch architect Willem Dudok.  They used brick clad concrete structures with flat roofs and a signature central tower. They also designed other public buildings such as libraries and health centres.
