Lutyens used only stone, brick and wood in his houses, never concrete, even though this was the trendy material for modern architects during his heyday. The concrete boxes which won so many accolades have all crumbled and are proving desperately difficult to keep watertight and to preserve. The houses which Lutyens built of stone, brick and wood are still standing and are still greatly admired, not least by me.
