Today, Peter Aldington is celebrating his 90th birthday, in the house and garden he designed and built with his wife, Margaret (to a great extent, with their own hands!) in the mid 1960s. Back then, Peter described himself as a young architect doing crazy things against all wisdom! Today, Peter’s architecture is renowned for the integration of architecture and landscape, and his work has bought him the great number of listed buildings of any living architect.

Have a wonderful day, Peter!
