Designed around 1920 by George Alfred Rose A.R.I.B.A and A. V. Farrier A.R.I.B.A.
One of the plans is hand drawn in ink and is backed onto a heavy rough linen. The other three plans are copies. The hand drawn design is titled ‘Plan at Level 4’. The copied plans show level one, two and five.
A key at the left side of each plan shows the abbreviations, Lounge, larder, bathroom, bedroom et cetera. Some rooms on the upper floors have been designated especially for ‘servants’.
40 inches x 27 inches, (100 x 68.3 cm).
A fascinating example of early twentieth-century London domestic architecture and town planning. On eBay now.

This is an original hand drawn design by Herbert Barker for his own home which he called ‘Sandhills’. The house was built in 1899. Sir Herbert Baker FRIBA RA was an English architect remembered as the dominant force in South African architecture for two decades, and a major designer of some of New Delhi's most notable government structures.
Baker was a good friend of both Edwin Edwin Lutyens and Cecil Rhodes. He designed Rhodes house which is also in Muizenberg.
The following is an extract from Fransen Hans, 2004. A guide to the old buildings of the Cape. Johannesburg & Cape Town: Jonathan Ball Publishers. p, 155.]
‘Sandhills is one of the more modest houses in the very fine row of Edwardian homes in Beach Rd facing the sea, is the modest single-storey house that Baker designed for himself in 1899. It is built in plaster finish on a stone plinth round an atrium (now covered), and two simple 'Dutch' gables mark either end of the whitewashed facade. The roof is of cedar shingles.’

William Robert Davidge (1879-1961) was an Architect and Surveyor, who combined these skills with an enthusiasm for urban improvement to become one of the pioneering leaders of the British town planning movement of the early twentieth century. He also played a key role in the introduction of town planning to Australia and New Zealand. He served as President of the Royal Town Planning Institute from 1926-27.
