Purpose
Design for an unidentified five-part, square villa in a Classical style, 57 by 56 feet (2)
Notes
Dance's design is for a square house with a 'coach porch' with coupled columns flanked by Wyatt windows and with the remaining three elevations each having five ground floor windows set in a semicircular-headed blind arches. There are three reception rooms and a dressing room downstairs, bedroom upstairs and a secondary stair leads to the basement offices not shown in the elevations. The planning is compact and some thought is given to the stair; in the first drawing, this is prefaced by a lobby and is reached from the further end of the hall so that so that it rises towards the front door. The second solution was to make one of the long walls of the staircase hall segmental on plan and fit a flight within the curve but neither idea was fully worked out and the project must soon have been given up.
