We are pleased to introduce our Mini Guides. The Mini Guides will feature the modernist buildings of a particular location or architect. They are A5 size and include text and colour images of the guides buildings.

Mini Guide No.1 explores The Frinton Park Estate on the Essex Coast, the largest collection of interwar modernist houses in the country. 

Mini Guide No.2 documents the non-housing work of the London County Council and Greater London Council between 1946-86, featuring work by the councils architects departments and others such as Erno Goldfinger, Denys Lasdun and Rodney Gordon. 

Mini Guide No.3 surveys the speculative suburban house of the 1930s, when developers used art deco and modernism to sell houses to the masses.

The distinctive work of Denys Lasdun is the subject of our fourth Mini Guide. The book explores his work from the 1930s until his death in 2001, which grew in scale and prestige, as Lasdun became one of the most lauded architects of his era

Our 5th Mini Guide is Interwar Industrial Architecture, bringing together examples from all over London and Herts, from the art deco Hoover Factory to the brick cathedral of Battersea Power Station

Mini Guide No.6 an exploration of The Alton Estate in Roehampton, probably the most influential and acclaimed estate from the immediate postwar years, with its contrasting halves, the brutal west side and the Scandinavian east

Mini Guide No.7 explores the art deco and modernist blocks that appeared around London in the 1930s, designed by architects and built by developers keen to sell buyers a new mode of living.
