Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate
United Kingdom / London, England
Location ID: #10137738
Housing estate built to the design of Camden's project architect Neave Brown. Low rise council housing arranged in three long parallel east-west blocks, occupying a crescent-shaped site. Generous open space at ground level. Cars at lower ground level. The scheme reflects the 1960s interest in the concept of the megastructure which is here approached directly from the main pedestrian route giving it the feeling of a traditional street.
