Earlier this month The Modern House team took a trip to the Buckinghamshire village of Haddenham to explore British architect Peter Aldington’s Turn End.

Comprised of three Grade II* listed village houses – The Turn, Middle Turn, and Turn End – and a beautifully landscaped garden, the properties were designed and built in the 1960s and received a RIBA award for Architecture in 1970.

Upon their completion the houses quickly earned Aldington an international reputation, in particular for the transition he established between the interior spaces and the garden. The properties capture many of Aldington’s distinctive architectural ideas – notably the use of spilt roofs to externally map the interior living spaces, and the division of the garden into separate ‘rooms’.
