This was their first housing scheme they did after leaving the LCC/GLC Architects Office with the experience of Alton West behind them.
There are similarities with Park Hill Layout due to sloping site and snake like ‘pivoted’ turning points formed with lifts and stairs. St Anne’s College also has some of these features on a flat and green site with more refined building features.
Their trademarks of using precast concrete aggregate panels, board marked concrete for circulation towers, bold modelling and articulation and careful detailing to prevent water staining is clearly seen in this Brutalist example of social housing in 60s London.
The scheme currently is undergoing major renovations and these two photos were taken during this period.
HKP&A's work can be seen here.
Refurbishment of a luxury apartment in Knightsbridge, London. We renovated the whole house and added a glass box extension to the rear to link the kitchen / dining room with the garden.

Here is the interior of St. John's Lutheran Church in Midland, Michigan which was designed by famous architect Alden Dow son of the founder of Dow Chemical. The entire church was designed around the symbol of Lutheranism - The Luther Rose. Many German immigrants flooded into the Midland area and a large Lutheran church was needed. The church was built in 1953.

Architects; Aldington craig & Collinge, 1970s.
Shocked to hear that this building has recently been demolished without any required permission.
No doubt this British habit of 'culling' modern architecture is far from under control.
