Name: Langham House Close

Architect: Stirling & Gowan
Borough: Richmond Upon Thames

The scheme, designed by James Stirling and James Gowan, became a flag bearer for the ‘New Brutalism’ in the late 1950’s, with exposed concrete frames, stock brick infill and jutting drain gargoyles. Internally, the living spaces are planned around fireplaces in exposed brick.
