		This proved to be a key work in Adam's architectural revolution: all previous Neoclassical domestic architecture, taking the lead from Palladio, had been based on temple and civic building designs, but Adam was the first architect to base his classical designs on those of a private dwelling.

		Adam's elegantly delicate Neoclassical style stands between the solemnity of the Palladians whom he superseded and the severity of the Greek Revivalists by whom his style was in turn superseded (but not eclipsed).
