Notes

As with drawing 7, Soane has added instructions to the builder as to the finishing of the walls, floors, windows, shutters and doors.

The drawing room has a circular plan with three tall windows on one side, a chimney-piece on another, a panelled door on another side and a (concealed) jib door on the fourth side that leads into the library.
