Berthold Lubetkin and Tecton
Islington
Grade II*
An estate initially designed by Tecton for Finsbury Borough in 1938.It consists of three apartment blocks, two of eight storeys and one of four storeys, containing 129 flats of varying sizes. The blocks are formed from concrete egg crate box frames, developed by Ove Arup & Partners as consultant engineers. This system allowed the building's structure to be completed quicker than using a monolithic concrete frame. The roofs of each block feature an aerofoil shaped section designed to facilitate the drying of clothes. The estate was refurbished by Islington Borough in 1998.
