Designs for a house, c1771, unexecuted (5)

The intended location for this unexecuted design for a house is not known. It is included here as it is possibly another scheme for 20 Soho Square. This is tentatively suggested owing to the common patron, and the comparable scale of the plot and the scheme shown in drawings Adam volumes 42/48-53. Moreover, as in Adam volumes 42/48-53, this design does not make use of windows in the ground or first storeys of the side walls, as appropriate for a house within a terrace. It does, however, have an area around all four sides of the sunk basement, suggesting that the design was made for rebuilding the house to be detached from its neighbours, albeit within close proximity to the flanking houses, hence the lack of windows to either side.
