Marshman Warren Taylor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marshman Warren Taylor was for a while the largest architectural practice in the United Kingdom.
The practice was founded in 1960 in Bedford. The principal partners in the business were:
- Arthur Marshman
- John Warren
- John Taylor
The practice's foundation was well timed and took off very fast on the back of the housing and building boom of the 1960s and 1970s.
Among notable projects of the practice were:
- Horton Rounds - Horton, Northampton
- Cheese house - a type of modern house designed Marshman Warren Taylor for mass middle class housing in England in the 1970s. The design is characterised by the angular shape of the main part of the house, which looks like an up-ended piece of cheddar cheese. (See example below)
- Vestry to St Peter's Church - Weston Favell.
- Acclaimed work on Truro Cathedral.
