I don't keep a list, but Christopher Pratt would definitely be on mine. This one reminds me of the cottage on the Cape my aunt has rented for the summers my whole life, my mom had this exhibition poster when I was growing up, I think it traveled to Charleston, or somewhere in the South.

A stunning property, this 1930s Raymond Myerscough-Walker Sun House in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, has had an asking price drop. Still doesn't come cheap, but it is one of the best-looking houses on the market right now - and the perfect summer dwelling. bit.ly/4hfQirA
