Cohen house

Cohen House is a private house on Old Church Street, Chelsea, in London. It was designed and built in 1935-6 by the emigre German architect Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff.

The house was built for the Cohen family, and adjoins another house designed around the same time by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry. The latter house has been altered beyond recognition, and by comparison Cohen House is well-preserved. The large conservatory was designed by Norman Foster in the 1970s.

Although less successful than The De La Warr Pavilion, the house was a prominent Modernist building in a city still then largely untouched by Modern architecture.
