Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Rose commissioned a house from Breuer and York in 1936, specifically requesting that the plan be the same as Torilla, a house that Yorke had designed in Nast Hyde, Hertfordshire a year earlier (prior to his partnership with Breuer). The house, mainly of Yorke's design, incorporated a double-height living room with a balcony, bedrooms with a "sleeping terrace," butler's quarters, and kennels. Breuer's influence appears mostly in details such as the cantilevered staircase on the exterior of the house, leading from the sleeping terrace outside the main bedroom to the swimming pool and the use of reinforced concrete walls against horizontal wood boards painted white.
