British and Scandinavian design meet in John Pardey’s easy rural modernism
In January of 2011 (W*142) we travelled from Wales to Norfolk, visiting the modernist houses of British architect John Pardey. Informed by the ultimate goal of designing a timeless building, Pardey’s work is deeply connected to landscape and offers a softer, modest style of modernism. It comes as no surprise that he was mentored by Jørn Utzon, and as a young architect he travelled to Australia to have lunch with Glenn Murcutt, whose maxim of ‘touching the earth lightly’ he followed.
