Building Britannia

Steven Parissien


An ambitious history of Britain told through the stories of twenty-five notable structures, from the Iron Age fortification of Maiden Castle in Dorset to the Gherkin.

Building Britannia is a chronicle of social, political and economic change seen through the prism of the country’s built environment, but also a sequence of closely observed studies of a series of intrinsically remarkable structures: some of them beautiful or otherwise imposing; some of them more coldly functional; all of them with richly fascinating stories to tell.


Life Inside A Cottage

Nell Card & Rachel Vere


A stunning photographic exploration of cottage-style buildings, from RIBA award-winning designs in Wales and traditional worker’s cottages in Dorset to Japanese woodland escapes and vibrant homes in New Orleans.

With wit and insight, De Graaf lays out the future of the profession, challenging readers to question the fundamental assumptions of the discipline.
