“...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. Recently extensively renovated by award-winning Studio Ben Allen to create a peaceful refuge high above the city full of bespoke details and innovative interventions, it has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout, with an elevated position on the tenth and eleventh floors ensuring fantastic views across London. The space is full of clever detailing and optical illusions, with Studio Ben Allen taking inspiration from Sir John Soane’s museum. 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
Keeling House was built between 1954 and 1957 by the greatly revered Modernist architect Denys Lasdun, and was renovated to a very high standard by Munkenbeck + Marshall in 2001.
The building was given a Grade II* listing in 1993 in recognition of its architectural significance. Although originally built for council tenants, it was sold to a developer in 1999, and all of the flats are now in private ownership.
Denys Lasdun’s original design for Keeling House shunned the traditional slab block in favour of a winged plan (four blocks arrange around a central service tower), which encouraged the occupants to interact with each other.
Munkenbeck + Marshall’s highly praised 2001 renovation earned an RIBA award and a Civic Trust commendation. The architects added a striking glass entrance area.
