“I commissioned Timothy to build this model of my former family home because if I didn’t, all knowledge and interest in it would have been lost forever. Tim’s attention to detail and accuracy was extraordinary. He even dug out 19th century insurance estimates, from an architectural archive, to repair the damage to the house after a major fire. This demonstrates his absolute commitment to getting it right.”

“While I cannot thank Palladio in person for his drawings, I can and must thank Timothy Richards, who has produced the beautiful plaster models which so wonderfully bring into the exhibition the actual buildings that Palladio and his American disciples built.
