Ben Nicholson was in Unit One, the Britsh Modern Artist Group. It consisted of painter, sculpture and architect. The name of two architects is Wells Coates and Colin Lucas. Wells Coates is famous for building Lawn Road Flats.
Lawn Road Flats is a flat that opened in 1934, the first modern flats and one of the first International Style in England. The owner was Jack Pritchard, founder of Isokon. Wells Coates embraced the ideas of Corbusier (a house is a machine for living in) and reflected his ideals to the flat.
Influenced by his experiences in Japan, the Isokon, with its simple living spaces and built-in Isokon furniture, was used by intellectuals and artists during their stay in London and functioned as a kind of salon with a dining room and bar. (Agatha Christie, Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, etc., lived there.)
The mutual influence of both Ben Nicholson’s white-relief and Wells Coates’s lawn flats are recognisable. Both of them are minimal and modern styles with less ornamentation.
