The Arts and Crafts house

Some of the most influential architects and designers of the last 150 years - William Morris, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Edwin Lutyens and Frank Lloyd Cartwright - were associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. They were drawn to its central premise that designs in the industrial age were ugly, mechanistic and dehumanizing, and that honest construction and individual craftmanship with a respect for the past was the way forward. The legacy of this movement was some of the most intriguing, inviting, and individualistic homes ever made.
