“The building is defined by dark brickwork and wide 'roof streets' that draw on a ziggurat formation to create a bold, angular silhouette”
Unfolding across the top two floors of Moorgreen House, a striking 1970s building, this two-bedroom apartment has been subject to a thoughtful and comprehensive renovation in recent years. Light flows into the plan from several aspects, illuminating the pared-back aesthetic that is utterly harmonious to the building's '70s origins. A corner of full-height glazing opens directly from the open-plan living area to a south-facing balcony, creating a seamless sense of transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Moorgreen House itself lies on Wynyatt Street, which is perfectly positioned for the best of Clerkenwell, Angel and Farringdon and excellently connected to the rest of London.
History
RHWL was formed by Andrew Renton, Peter Howard, Humphrey Wood and Gerald Levin in the early 1960s, following on from the success of Renton's solo practice Andrew Renton & Associates. The practice is perhaps best known for the projects undertaken by the Art Team, including the Old Vic Theatre, Sadlers Wells Theatre, Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall.
The Earlstoke Estate was developed under the direction of Levin. It is made up of Moorgreen House and Midway House, containing 137 dwellings in total; 42 of these were designed to be two-person flats, with the other 95 designed as four- to six-person maisonettes. The larger Midway House rises nine storeys high and is perhaps more prominent from street level, yet the architecture of Moorgreen House is equally notable.
