[2] In 1987 the Regent Park's Crown Estate Commissioners commissioned the Neo-Classical English architect Quinlan Terry to build six detached villas that echoed the style of Nash.
Terry said in a 2002 interview that the Crown Estate had told him to "step into Nash's shoes and carry on walking".
Allinson and Thornton felt that the location of the villas was integral to understanding their style, feeling that they made "little sense" outside of Nash's original scheme for building in the park and that they could also be likened to properties on the Bishop's Avenue where "a less erudite version of the Neo-classical detached villa has manifest itself".
[8]The design of the Corinthian Villa was influenced by the work of the 17th-century Italian baroque architect Francesco Borromini, and features the first 'serpentine triple-curved facade' in English architectural history.
The internal design of the Gothick Villa features details inspired by Combermere Abbey in Cheshire, and Longner Hall in Shropshire.
