About At Home in London: The Mews House

At Home in London: The Mews House documents seventeen examples of this rich architectural tradition dating from the 1960s to the present day, with new photography and extensive drawings. The self-built houses of architects feature particularly prominently, including those of John Winter, Ted and Roz Cullinan, and Peter St John and Siw Thomas. Acclaimed architecture critic Ellis Woodman narrates the history of this perennially popular type from its early pioneers including potter Lucie Rie through the potential of the mews as a model for new residential development, exemplified by Peter Barber’s monumental Edgewood Mews (2022) and Al-Jawad Pike’s Chowdhury Walk (2023).
