  1891  14 & 16 HANS ROAD
 
Knightsbridge, London.

 For Archibold Grove.

 According to Wendy Hitchmough
 Voysey designed a terrace of three houses,
 12, 14, and 16 Hans Road, but a dispute 
 with the client over fees led to
 A. H. Mackmurdo being commissioned to
 build number 12.

 According to Joanna Symonds
 an earlier, preliminary design, 
 published in The British Architect, 
 
1892, shows roughcast instead of
 the executed red brick.
 The interiors have been
 considerably altered.

 An Artist's Cottage.

 According to Stuart Durant, the Devey
 influence is seen in the neo-vernacular aspects
 of the building and its relaxed agglomeration
 of parts.

 John Brandon-Jones pointed out,
 although the design was published in 1889,
 it is likely to have been made some years
 earlier. It shows Voysey's work at a stage
 when he was still heavily influenced by 
 Devey.

Drawings

In 1913 Voysey gave a selection of designs to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
In 1940 the rest of the drawings, which he had kept, were given to the Royal Institute of British Architects
and after the war they were presented to the RIBA Drawings Collection by Voysey's son, Charles Cowles Voysey,
and in 1975 they were catalogued by Joanna Symonds.

 The end of Voysey's architectural career.
 David Gebhard pointed out that
 "In part it was certainly due to the strong surge of classical
 (Neo-Georgian and the like) architecture which established itself
 as the dominant mode of the high art English architectural establishment."

                                 
 
(David Gebhard, Charles F. A. Voysey Architect, p. 12)
 
 
Wendy Hitchmough notes that
 "Voysey was never prepared to synchronize with the times
 in order to be popular and although the decline of his practice
 was partly caused by changing social conditions
 as the Edwardian, countryhouse lifestyle faded into obsolescence,
 even before the First World War he was unfashionable."
                      
(Wendy Hitchmough, CFA Voysey, p. 206.)

 "If a man is successful by acting one way and the circumstances change,
 he will fail if he does not change his methods.
 But men are never flexible enough to change, either because their natures will not let them
 or because they become accustomed to a certain behavior bringing success."

                                                                                                        Niccolς Machiavelli, The Prince

 "Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times."
                                                                                                                         
   Niccolς Machiavelli
  

  "Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative."

                                                                                                                                      H. G. Wells


 "They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom."

  The expression ‘tide and time wait for no man’ originates from the early 11th century.
  The first use of the phrase appears in archaic English, in a script written by St. Marher in 1225, where it appears as follows.

  “And te tide and te time ώat tu iboren were, schal beon iblescet.”

  However, the phrase appeared centuries later in ‘Chaucer’s Prologue to the Clerk’s Tale,’ published in 1395.
  The proverbial expression was worded in its modern phrasing.

  Source: https://english-grammar-lessons.com

   Chaucer’s quote is in The Clerk’s Tale: “For thogh we slepe, or wake, or rome, or ryde, Ay fleeth the tyme; it nyl no man abyde.”
  (Modern English: For though we sleep, or wake, or roam, or ride, the time will fly; it will pause for no man.”)

Nikolaus Pevsner saw Voysey as a pioneer of the Modern Movement,
        an attribution that Voysey did not agree with.


         Voysey wrote in a letter to John Betjeman: "I have only applied old tradition to new conditions (...)
        there is nothing new in my architecture, but new thought and feeling."

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857-1941) is an architect whose reputation has fallen between two stools,
  largely due to an issue of classification: was he or was he not a Pioneer of the Modern Movement?

"We find often enough the man with little or no capital seeking the house that would alone be fit for the rich. ... His house must have an imposing front, must show itself to the public as much above the station of the occupier as the dishonest architect can make it." (Voysey, p.16)

"An author may use words, or even sentences taken from great writers, but the fact does not establish his claim to be regarded as a great writer. Why, then, should the architect's reproduction of ancient monuments be regarded as architecture?" (Voysey, p.18)

"Schools must be reformed, and designers trained to think and feel rightly, and encouraged not to copy blindly." (Voysey, p.19)

 

- "The quality of fitness in architecture and furnishings" by C.F. A. Voysey,

  "We must recoil from all form of dishonesty ...
    ... then will follow such qualities as simplicity and repose ...
    ... evolve our elevations out of our plans and requirements,
    never making our plans
to fit a preconceived elevation...
    ... Low, long buildings also create a feeling of restfulness and spaciousness...
    ... all ornament is pernicious unless it inspires good thougt and feelings in others.
    ... We are too often afraid to be ourselves, imitating the more wealthy."

Correspondence between Voysey and Hermann Muthesius : Hermann Muthesius (1861-1927) was a German architect, author and diplomat, perhaps best known for promoting many of the ideas of the English Arts and Crafts movement within Germany. He was the author of Das englische Haus (Ernst Wasmuth, 1904-5).
