Architect Walter Greaves had a particular penchant for timber.

This is clear from looking at the modernist house he designed for his family in Runcton, a small village located two miles south of Chichester, close to the West Sussex coast.

This mid-century home has a natural simplicity about it which is really endearing. Built in 1956, and designed by architects Elizabeth and Winston Close, it is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
