Big up to Stefi @modernistestates.bsky.social - another super edition in the Richmond to Ham guide, I still want to build a Span estate. Bring back reissues for housing projects & not just records.

Can anyone help me?!
Thank you

I went to see the new film/documentary about Eileen Gray and her E.1027 house. I wrote about it here: www.modernistestates.com/journal/e-1027
