Notes
Comparison with the preliminary designs (drawings 11-14) show that the plan of the offices has reverted to an extended back wall with chamfered corners. In the house, while the vestibule has kept its bowed wall, the one in the hall has gone. The enlarged dressing room (drawing 14) has reverted to its original size.
