“...they recall the streets and squares of the city and contour lines of the hills; and, at a more profound level, they bear witness to the roots of an architectural language inspired by natural geological forms” - Denys Lasdun
Located in Keeling House, one of London's finest modernist residential buildings, is this excellent two-bedroom apartment with fantastic views from its elevated position on the third and fourth floors. Keeling House was built between 1954 and 1957 to a design by Denys Lasdun, one of Britain's greatest modern architects. It was given a Grade II* listing in 1993 in recognition of its architectural significance. The building was renovated to a very high standard by Munkenbeck + Marshall in 2001.
History
A true pioneer of modern British architecture, Denys Lasdun’s designs were sometimes controversial. The now Grade II* listed Royal National Theatre, designed between 1967-76, was the most disputed of his projects, with its brutal aesthetic polarising opinion amongst traditionalists.
During the 1960s and ’70s Lasdun also worked on a number of educational buildings, developing his recognisable vernacular of cubic towers, bare concrete and jutting foyers. As well as completing designs for Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, and the Royal College of Physicians in Regent’s Park, Lasdun developed an acclaimed design for ziggurat-shaped halls at the University of East Anglia.
