Connell Ward & Lucas were a pioneering firm of architects working in the Modern Movement in the UK. Connell and Ward were early admirers of Le Corbusier; Lucas, similarly influenced and frustrated by conventional builders, had set up his own company to develop ideas for reinforced concrete. The three worked as a team from 1933, for six years producing a series of houses that no contemporary firm could match. 66 Frognal is illustrated in 'Connell Ward & Lucas "Modern movement architects in England 1929 -1939"
