Architect David Cole's new book includes his own photographs of 45 houses designed by late English architect Edwin Lutyens.

While Edwin Lutyens’ portfolio was thoroughly published in his lifetime, during the late 19th and early 20th century, the new Sir Edwin Lutyens: The Arts and Crafts Houses (Images Publishing, 2017) builds on that record by introducing 575 contemporary photographs—shot by author and architect David Cole—of 45 houses by the English architect, such as Berrydown Court. Cole says he took these images “to illustrate the contemporary timelessness of Lutyens’s designs a hundred years after those first images, and to celebrate Lutyens’s enduring genius—safely preserved in, but never consigned to, the past.”
