On a traditional street in Melbourne’s west, a new house pairs pragmatic planning and cost-effective material use with surprising volume to reframe the dream of a suburban family home.
This gallery documents Joanna Francis's 1940s home at Burton Stather near Scunthorpe. Life on the home front during the 1940s was very different to today's modern world. Until war broke out in September 1939, most women did not work outside the home. Many homes did not have running water in the house, water was carried in buckets from an outside well, or perhaps some were lucky enough to have a pump inside. To produce hot water it would be heated on top of a stove, often wood burning. That water would then be used for washing dishes, washing clothes and bathing. Unlike today, baths were taken weekly.Wash day would usually be on a Monday. Clothes would be agitated in a tub then hand-cranked through a wringer to get the water out. They were always hung outdoors to dry or over a wooden dryer in front of the stove. Almost everyone baked bread, pies and pastries at home. A shop bought ''National loaf'' was often unappetising & grey in colour. A loaf of store-bought bread was a seldom purchase & there certainly were not the varieties that we have today.After the outbreak of war, a cautious beginning was made on the food rationing system in January 1940 with the rationing of bacon & butter (4oz-115g) per person per week & sugar (12oz-340g).All householders were forced to register with their local shops as the rationing system took hold. Meat was rationed on price rather than weight so obviously poorer cuts were more readily available. No food went to waste.Food scraps were collected for pig swill. As an island nation, Britain was highly dependent on imported goods. Britain required more than a million tons of imported material per week in order to be able to survive the fight. By February 1941, The Battle of the Atlantic,Hitler's U-boats were destroying convoys with the intent to starve Britain into submission. Cigarettes & alcohol were often in short suppy though never officially rationed.''Dig for Victory' was one of the great wartime slogans, first launched in a broadcast of October 1939 when Sir Reginald Dorman-Smith, the Minister of Agriculture called for every able-bodied man & women to dig an allotment in their spare time. ''Make do & Mend'' was the order of the day with a massive salvage drive to collect scrap materials, clothes, paper, metal all used for the war effort. Animal bones were used to make glues for aircraft.Most women were up at daybreak running the home & still going strong after their children were in bed. No dishwashers, electric fry pans, slow cookers, convection ovens.Hope that you enjoy this visual tour of ''The 1939 House Experience''.

[email protected] ''THE 1939 HOUSE EXPERIENCE'' Commentary by Joanna Francis: Hello, I'm Joanna. From being very young the 30s and 40s always had a pull on me. Visiting museum's with 30s/40s rooms I just wanted the rooms to be "alive". Now some years later and with blacker hands I've created my "1939 house".My home is a Victorian end terrace.This project has taken 10 years of evolution with each room in the house built to serve a purpose. Each room I have put back near as possible, being used as it was originally meant to be.The 1930s house hold chores for a woman are very repetitive and routine/pre-planning is essential. Living out in the country we aren't as forward as the towns and cities so the toilet is still outside, there is no running hot water and cooking/heating/hotwater comes from the stove. Everybody's experience of the 30s/40s is different, just like our experiences of the 80s/90s/00s could bring back good or bad memories.Even though I live in "1939", I still have a good social life and enjoy a beer or a glass of whiskey while listening to Al Boley, Glenn Miller, Max Miller, George Formby etc. Hope that you enjoy seeing my home.

Colors Luiza chose for an exterior wall are reflected throughout the home, such as in the Brazilian green marble floors in the kitchen/living area, as well as built-in kitchen cabinetry, covered in Salmon Formica. Tito designed the dining table. Tagged: Dining Room, Storage, Chair, and Table.
