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.

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.
Architect: James Stirling 1969-72. (Scanned from an early 1970s slide)
Famous for GRP panels and glass corridor link to Edwardian building refurbished by Jim's friend, Ted Cullinan. Top glazed shape on right is a corner of a Divisible Lecture Hall, which was the centrepiece of 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.
You can see this building under construction in this photo. As a fan of modern architecture I think this is a beautiful addition to the Johannesburg architectural landscape.
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.

As far as I know, a unique and short lived experiment by two brothers was started building in 1968. Tim Organ, a builder and Robert Organ, an artist and lecturer in the history of architecture carried out the planning, overall form and detailing.
The design quality came high in their list of priorities and planning committees and clients were often 'persuaded' by Tim to accept his approach for the sake of consistency and quality.
