The Modern House
The Modern House is a British estate agent that specialises in the sale and promotion of Modernist and 20th century architecture.[1] Gibberd and Hill met at school in Dorset and collected training shoes and Memphis Group furniture in their respective youths.[2] The pair claim that they have sold properties to 17 artists that have been nominated for The Turner Prize.An estate agent designed like a high-concept lifestyle magazine, it had clean fonts on white space, art-standard photography and a refreshing lack of jargon".[2] In 2019 Laura Barton wrote in The Guardian that the website of The Modern House offers a form of escapism with its "ordered beauty and outlandish prices ... How sweet life would be, we think to ourselves, if we could spend our days in such open-plan, light-filled harmony".
