Lutyens's Lodges: Making an Entrance

Lutyens’s entrance lodges provide the first introduction to a home and serve a variety of purposes. As with most things designed by Lutyens, we found that the more we looked at the lodges, the more there was to discover.

Pivotal buildings in the entrance sequences to main residences. Lutyens gave as much attention to these smaller structures as to his larger buildings. Please join us to learn more.

Oliver Cope Architect (OCA)

Stuart Martin
Stuart first encountered Lutyens through the Patrick Nuttgens TV programme that coincided with the Hayward Gallery Exhibition in 1981. He pursued this interest at University, writing a dissertation on Lutyens’ Classical architecture, and beginning his own solo visits to the houses when he could. In his subsequent career as an architect of country houses, Stuart has sought to combine his reverence for Lutyens’ work, with its love of traditional forms and materials with sensitivity to the varying contexts of our own times. He has been a member of the Lutyens Trust for 20 years, and a member of the Events Committee for more than 10 years.
