Eleanor Raymond was, notably, an early adopter of modern architectural principles. However, she did not only build modern homes, but worked with different architectural styles depending on the location and the needs of her clients. Her use of both modern and historical architectural practices, as well as her concern for the relation of space to both the inhabitants and the surrounding environment, still have relevance for architects and designers working today as we confront these issues on a global scale.
