Page "William Kent" Paragraph 4

In country house building, major commissions for Kent were designing the interiors of Houghton Hall ( c. 1725 – 35 ), recently built by Colen Campbell for Sir Robert Walpole, but at Holkham Hall the most complete embodiment of Palladian ideals is still to be found ; there Kent collaborated with Thomas Coke, the other " architect earl ", and had for an assistant Matthew Brettingham, whose own architecture would carry Palladian ideals into the next generation.

A theatrically Baroque staircase and parade rooms in London, at 44 Berkeley Square, are also notable.

Kent's domed pavilions were erected at Badminton House and at Euston Hall.
