Shrubs Wood, Art Deco residence in Chalfont St Giles, England
The exterior design of Shrubs Wood features geometric shapes, linear patterns, and extensive glazing incorporating Modernist architectural principles throughout the structure.
Built between 1933 and 1934, Shrubs Wood emerged from the collaboration of architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff during their brief partnership period.
The property stands as one of two residential works created by Mendelsohn and Chermayeff, representing a fusion of continental European and British architectural approaches.
The Grade II* listing status requires special permissions for any modifications to preserve the building's architectural and historical elements for future generations.
Originally named Nimmo House, the property received its current name from Bridget D'Oyly Carte after purchasing it in 1949.
