Notes
The house varies from Design D by having, for example, a portico supported by two pairs of coupled columns on the garden side and a six-column porte-cochere on the north side. The plan of the offices has changed from Design C ([SM D1/10/13]) and is now compact and linked by a yard rather than a wing; the semicircular or apsidal walled yard has been kept.
