Commonplace | Flat Roofs & Frothy Pints

Issue Four | Flat Roofs & Frothy Pints 

Post-war pubs in Scotland

By Matthew Dransfield 

Commonplace is a photographic magazine celebrating modernist buildings and places across Britain and Ireland.

Born from a collaboration between the modernist and Uhm! Publishing, it explores the in-between places and small sites that lie beyond the mainstream modernist canon—those commonplaces that deserve a second look.

In Issue Four, Matthew Dransfield takes us for a pint... 'This project began, like many pub visits, by chance. While photographing housing schemes and new towns for my book on modernist churches, I kept noticing another kind of social architecture: low, flat‑roofed boxes at the heart of schemes. These weren’t just pubs – they were community anchors, designed with the same civic optimism as the schools, clinics and churches that surrounded them.' Matthew Dransfield
