An article I wrote about the modernist residences of Sarasota, Florida (W*72, above), inspired me to found The Modern House. I came back from that trip and wondered if a company celebrating and selling great houses might work in the UK. (Editorial Director) Richard Cook was looking to buy a house at the time and was bemoaning the offerings of estate agents – so I really set up The Modern House with Richard as a model customer! I still haven’t managed to sell him anything.
