Description:
Estate designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens with a narrow, six-storey high gallery-access slab as the basic building block. The long gallery design bears a strong resemblance to the social housing being built in other European countries in the late 1920s and 1930s. The blocks are wrapped around a paved courtyard forming a large ā€œUā€ shape that is open at the south end. The entrance courtyards are partially landscaped with planters. There is a pavilion at the south end of each courtyard that functions as an entrance gatehouse. Flats are accessed by balcony walkways.
