GLASS ARCHITECTURE.
ULTRA-MODERN DWELLING.
LONDON, September 10
Raymond McGrath, a young Australian research student at Cambridge, has transformed a house of MidVictorian ugliness belonging to a University lecturer into what is claimed to be the most modern dwelling in England.
It has a front door of wired glass opening into the entrance hall which contains a silvered glass ceiling with pilasters of cast glass sheets. Lemon and gold leaf mirrors are arranged to give it length. The dining room has a cast glass dome and a black glass fountain, "from which lights and changing colours are reflected. The furniture is made of metal and glass.
