"TOP-FLOOR PANTRY"
ARCHITECT’S MISTAKES LONDON January 21. Miss Dora Lewis, the clever Melbourne student —who has won thi Royal Institute of Architects’ travelling scholarship, including a gold medal and £2so—told the special representative of the Sydney “Sun” that the feminine touch was" revolutionising architecture.
“The modern girl,’’ she said, “demands a small, compact, sunlit home, with labour-saving devices, such as electric cookers, automatic washers, vacuum sweepers, and ample cupboards. Male architects are becoming more sensible, and are avoiding obvious mistakes, like putting the pantry on the top floor. “My practical activities at present are confined to planning three cottages for Melbourne friends, and devising alterations for my relatives, but after studying in America, I will return to London, and am hopeful of quickly building up a prnttice.”
