“A definitive contribution to flat design, and a triumph of effectiveness and simplicity”- Twentieth Century Society
Positioned on the second floor of Pullman Court in Streatham, this two-bedroom apartment has recently been renovated to an exacting standard. Original features, including Crittall windows, have been carefully maintained, with sensitive contemporary introductions added including a new kitchen and bathroom. Pullman Court itself is one of south London's most renowned modernist buildings; originally designed to resemble an ocean liner, its distinctive white facade protrudes out across several blocks arranged along an east-west axis.

History
Pullman Court in Streatham, south London, was completed in 1936 and was designed by Frederick Gibberd when he was just 23 years old. The design addressed the city’s housing shortage while working with increasingly available modern materials and an innovative design. The project was particularly notable for allowing a modernist architect freedom of design on such a large scheme.
White-walled and concrete-framed, the building contains 218 one- to four-bedroom apartments in total, spread across three blocks and set amongst landscaped gardens. Each apartment was equipped with bespoke furniture and lighting, a pioneering move by Gibberd to create a strong discourse between the building’s exterior and the interior environment. In 1995 the external fabric was refurbished and the development was upgraded from a Grade II to Grade II* listing.
