Homes by Heroes

"I could buy this," excitedly.

"Why might you want it?"

"He's a Hero!  It's his own house!"

"And what would you do in Welwyn Garden City?  I don't want to live in Welwyn Garden City much as I admire it."

Long pause:

"I could grow up."

Precisely.

I would love to see the kind of house that Le Corbusier might have built for himself!

Would you get the furnishings as well?

I think I'd stick to Frank Lloyd Wright's gaff, myself!

You'll just have to put up with pietra serena cortile and vaulted ceilings, Small.

Nice-looking place.

Of course, it's nothing whatever like that kind of thing the hoi-polloi had to put up with in Welwyn or any other new town.

Make all architects live in the tower blocks they design for the masses, say I.
