Product information
SKU: L-TLB450
Sir John Soane was a British architect notable for his unique interpretations of the Neoclassical style.
Having built the Bank of England, Dulwich Picture Gallery and rebuilding three houses in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, he is considered one of the most inventive British architects of his time.
Number 12 Lincoln’s Inn Fields was raised to the ground, rebuilt and engaged as his home, office, and a space for his collections.
Number 13’s original stable block was transformed into a new office and museum space, which he filled with plaster casts and Roman marbles.
He rebuilt number 14 and rented out the front part as a separate house. The stables and courtyard at the back were demolished and replaced with an extension to number 13 which became the Picture Room.
In 1833, he negotiated an Act of Parliament: to preserve his house and collection and to keep it open and free for inspiration and education.
And, as he intended, Soane is still inspiring us, nearly 180 years later.
