Name: Isokon Flats
Date: 1934
Architect: Wells Coates
Borough: Camden
Listing: Grade I
Notes:  One of the foremost modernist buildings in the country, the Isokon building was designed by Canadian architect Wells Coates for Jack & Molly Pritchard. The finished building, which opened in 1934, provided 22 flats for single people, named “minimum” apartments, as well as larger apartments, a caretaker's flat and the penthouse apartment occupied by the Pritchards. The building would play host to a wealth of famous names; Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, Arthur Korn, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and later on novelist Agatha Christie would all be residents.
