Laslett House, Clarkson Road
1957-59
Trevord Dannatt, Architect
Stunning house using first floor wraparound though one could argue the wraparound suggests a floating volume in true Modernist superstyle and when revealed to have a slightly recessed lump of solid below is a disappointment. The result is a piece of humble English modern architecture which fits perfectly into Cambridge, certainly not flamboyant

Launcelot Fleming House, Huntingdon Road
1993
MacCormac Jamieson Prichard Architects
For Trinity Hall

Law Library, Cambridge University, Sidgwick Campus, 10 West Rd
1995
Foster & Partners
Nicknamed the 'Bread Bin' by Cambridge students this rather stark Foster building contains the 'relocated' Squire Law library with generous atrium, five auditoria and offices. Some users of the building initially complained about acoustics and many find the south facade (for one) overbearing and alienating. The Norman Foster library squares up to (with its point) the James Stirling library to the west: these are two buildings that are quite egotistical; one gets the feeling this building could have been anywhere
