Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Hans Scharoun and Le Corbusier are just a few of the architects who designed parts of a model housing settlement for a 1927 exhibition called "The Dwelling," which aimed to be a platform for the nascent New Construction movement.

Could the collector put it in his next prestigious exhibition at County Hall? And did Brady take cash or cheque? But no, Brady wasn’t daydreaming. It happened. “Only my phone battery was going dead,” he says with a chuckle. “I could only make out this garbledkksshhh someone’s bought kksshhh the piece. It’skksshhh.”
