'Moderne' Houses

Osbert Lancaster's Parody of Moderne Houses - '20th Century Functional

Moderne houses, or to use their formal name 'International Moderne' houses arrived in the UK as a reflection of the Moderne movement in architecture that was sweeping Europe.

Moderne houses were satirised as 20th Century Functional by the great Osbert Lancaster in his 1930's book 'Pillar To Post'.
