Summary:

A celebration of architect Peter Aldington's village housing in Haddenham in Buckinghamshire.
Built in the 1960s, this modern housing made of wood, concrete and glass, in a traditional setting, has always been celebrated as a rare British representative among the best of European housing design. Over one hundred color photographs reveal the qualities of these unassuming landmarks of modern design which, far from shouting their presence, are discreetly tucked away down a winding village street.
