Critics Review
‘Pardey’s take on each project is personal, weaving the trials andtribulations of their design, construction and subsequent history. From Aaltoto Wright, Eames to Utzon, there isn’t a house here that doesn’t have manytales to tell, and Pardey proves a compelling and knowledgeable narrator.’ - Wallpaper*
