What We're Seeing: Burrow House in Deeper London

Whilst researching a new property that we’re about to launch by the renowned, Australian-born architect Raymond McGrath we came across this fantastic image in an old book of a Christmas card that McGrath sent in the 1930s featuring a scheme for a spectacular ‘burrow’ house in ‘deeper London’.

Image from ‘The Thirties’ by David Dean.
