C.F.A. Voysey

British, 1857 - 1941
C.F.A. Voysey (1857–1941) was a pioneering English architect and designer, celebrated for his contributions to the Arts and Crafts movement. Born in Yorkshire, he began his architectural career in 1882, establishing a practice that emphasized simplicity and functionality. Voysey's designs often featured white roughcast walls, horizontal ribbon windows, and expansive pitched roofs, reflecting his commitment to originality and a departure from historical traditions. His notable works include Perrycroft in Herefordshire (1893), Annesley Lodge in Hampstead (1896), and Greyfriars in Surrey (1896). In addition to architecture, Voysey was renowned for his textile and wallpaper designs, characterized by rhythmic patterns and a restrained color palette. His work significantly influenced modern architecture, bridging the gap between the Arts and Crafts movement and early modernism.
