For Listing Roundup. Photographer's note: 'Post-Modern house with hard landscaping and summer house to the garden, designed in 1983 and built between 1984 and 1985 to designs by architect Ivan Simovic for his family. A contextual and intricate design for a constrained garden plot, demonstrating meticulous internal planning to maximise spatial efficiency and skilful handling of natural lighting, wall openings and circulation through the house, which all combine to dramatic effect. An example of a ‘backland’ development scheme, an important type of urban building project into the 1970s and 1980s. Ivan Simovic (1932-2012) was born in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia (now Serbia) and studied Architecture and Engineering at the Belgrade Academy of Applied Arts and Urban Planning at the Architectural Association in London.'
