Building Notes
In 1946 Basil Spence and Partners designed a house for Sydney W Brown in Kirkhill Braes, Dunbar. This was possibly the first commission for the newly formed practice. The Archive holds a preliminary design for the building which was constructed circa 1948-49.
Archive Details and Summary
The Sir Basil Spence Archive holds an undated presentation drawing for this project which is likely to have been drawn in 1946 because it gives the practice address as 16 Rutland Square, from where it moved the following year.
