Merks Hall, Essex. 1984 - 1986.
 

 

This house started as a larger version of Waverton House, but was developed to make use of the local materials and methods of construction of Essex: red brick, stucco and slate. The north front employs a Doric and Ionic superimposed Order; rusticated quoins and ingeniously spaced triglyphs and modillions are positioned on a Baroque front influenced by Borromini's work at the Barberini Palace, Rome.
