The Study was placed so that visiting clients would not need to enter the main part of the house. Patrick Gwynne transformed it to its present appearance in the 1960s.

The long desk is worthy of the bridge of a starship, raised up on a single angled metal leg which hides the telephone and electric wiring. Gwynne designed it to combine three functions: in the centre was a telephone and computerised diary, to one side a drawing table, to the other a desk surface.

Behind the desk is a wall mounted unit with different shaped drawers for filing drawings, photographs, books and papers. One sliding unit brings out the typewriter.

The circular table is contemporary with the desk, with little pull-out shelves for clients to set their drinks upon.

Hung from the wall in the corner are a white tubular chair and box table which, like the small marble-top table, are all of Gwynne’s design.
