Capel House
Capel House (now known as The Gore) is a detached house at 25 Llantrisant Road in the Llandaff district of Cardiff, Wales. It was designed by the Welsh modernist architect Graham Brooks of Hird & Brooks and built in 1966.[1] It is noted for its distinctive modernist use of painted white brick, exposed timber joints and a flat roof.[2]
Brooks was greatly influenced by Danish modernist architecture, and had designed his personal residence in a modernist style in 1964. Capel House was awarded the T. Alwyn Lloyd memorial Gold Medal for Architecture at the National Eisteddfod of Wales of 1968.[3][4] Capel House was the model for Hird & Brooks's The Mount development of sixteen single-storey houses in Dinas Powys.[2]
It was featured in the Daily Mail Book of Bungalow Plans 1968/69, and Alan Powers' 2007 book Britain: Modern Architectures in History.[1][5][6]
The house received a Commendation in the Civic Trust Awards of 1966.[7][8]
