Notes
[SM D1/10/5] forms part of a set of presentation drawings for alternative designs ([SM D1/10/9], [SM D1/10/8], [SM D1/10/7], [SM D1/10/6], [SM D1/10/5]) made by the same office hand and with, for example, the same type of border.
The drawing is made more striking by having the office wings and porte-cochere and vestibule washed in blue, thus emphasising the strong geometry of the plan.
See also [SM D1/10/4] verso and [SM D1/11/18] verso for rough related plans.
