This paper is an attempt to re-evaluate the architecture of Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) through the analysis of his house planning. Lutyens, one of the leading architects in Edwardian England, has been almost neglected in the history of modern architecture because of his conversion from the Arts and Crafts vernacular style to Neo-Georgian style at the turn of the century. He, however, excelled in house planning, especially skillful manipulation of axes in its plan. From this viewpoint, three small houses with the central staircase are analysed here: 1) Tiebourne Court, Witley, Surrey, 1899-1901 2) Homewood, Knebworth, Hertfordshire, 1901 3) The Salutation, Sandwich, Kent, 1911 As Lutyens' stilistic interst shifted from the vernacular to the classical, his house plan changed from the informal and additive to the formal and divisional. The functional relationship between the major living rooms and the rather complicated circulation around the central staircase, however, hardly changed. It indicates that the apparently divisional plan of the later house was developed through compressing the additive plan of the earlier house into the more rigid geometrical framework.
