Hampton
Garrick’s Villa – now flats – was bought by the great actor in1754 and provided Robert Adam with one of his earliest opportunities at decoration. Even then, the busy turnpike road forced the Garricks to make a tunnel to get to their private garden by the Thames.
The Shakespeare temple is a little octagon – possibly designed by Capability Brown for a production of one of the Bard’s plays in 1758.
In amazing contrast, the three-storied Swiss chalet really was brought over from Switzerland by Hucks boatbuilders in the late 19th century.

Sanding Parquet Floors – How Is It Different?
When it comes to sheer style, parquet floors are hard to beat. They simply look great. However, the sheer number of panels in these floors can mean that sanding them is a different process. We can still do a great job on any floor, of course, but you have to manage a parquet design in a different way.
So how does the sanding process change with this type of aesthetic?
The first thing to consider is the grain of the wood. Because all solid wooden panels comprise fibres strung together, it’s natural that the strength travels one way. That’s why wood workers are talked about as going with (or against) the grain.
If you sand against the grain, you’re going to naturally pull and tear at these fibres more than you would by going with it. It’s certainly a faster process, but it’s also more aggressive. You’ll naturally strip away the wood faster this way. Interestingly, it’s exactly the same principle as shaving your face or your legs; going against the grain is more painful.
In an ideal world, of course, the grain of the whole floor would head in one direction, and you’d always sand with the grain.
Which brings us to a parquet floor, where the panels are often heading in multiple directions. If you tried to simply sand straight along the panels, you’d inevitably end up with an uneven finish; you’d be working with the grain on some panels and against them in others.
The solution, then, is to sand both ways. First straight and then across. This ensures that all the panels are sanded with the same degree of aggressiveness, giving a far more even finish in the long run. It’s also worth noting that the sanding drum will never be sat on a single block, which is a risk with parquet flooring.
If you complete the sanding in five grits, for instance, you would do straight, across, straight, across and finally straight again, using finer grits each time. The result would be a balanced, flawless finish on even the fiddliest parquet floor.
