A house in Woughton on the Green designed, by the modernist architect John Winter, will be open to the public during this week's Heritage Open Days 2017.
Lucas Place, consisting of three angled terraces of flat-roofed housing was completed in 1975 for the Orbit Housing Association.
Orbit still runs and manages many of those houses. The terraced houses integrated two-storey and single-storey dwellings beneath roof terraces.
The original windows have been changed, but the overall continuity of the scheme is intact.
Architect Robert Grindley, who will open his house at 1 Lucas Place says: "John Winter's houses helped to set an example for later schemes in Milton Keynes".
John Winter (1930-2012) worked with Charles Eames and Erno Goldfinger before setting up his own practice, John Winter & Associates. He was known for his thoughtful, practical one-off houses. He also wrote for the Property Clinic column in the Daily Telegraph.
You can visit 1 Lucas Place on Saturday, September 9, with tours starting on the hour every hour from 11am to 4pm. You must pre-book your tour here
As well as the open house, you will be able to see an exhibition of developments and changes in Woughton between 1967 and 1917 [2], run by Woughton Heritage in nearby St Mary's Church.
In Milton Keynes, local architectural expert Tim Skelton will lead So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright: a walk around Downhead Park (pictured) on Saturday, September 9 at 2pm (pre-booking preferred). The American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was a huge influence on the development of Milton Keynes - but how did his vision translate to the British new town?
