Months ago, I wrote about the Georgian Group Awards Scheme, in which many of the UK’s deteriorating Georgian country homes are being brought back to life. Each year, there are several awards given to the best of these projects. Austen Redman, who works with the firm, Francis Johnson & Partners, classic architects in England, contacted me to tell me about some of their projects, and just recently sent me a small video of their work. The amazing thing is that each of the homes shown in the video is less than 20 years old! We often lament that workmanship like that done in the Georgian era is no longer available, but Austen has shown us that it is. Making the visuals in this video even more wonderful is the music flowing through it. The piece is Nocturne No.1 by John Field (1782-1837), performed by Julian Savory. The video is here. I hope you will take a few minutes to watch it.
