Description
The Lawn is a block of flats with an attached wall to the south, built between 1950 and 1951 by Frederick Gibberd. It is a three-storey building with a long, low profile and a flat roof, designed as a visual counterpoint to the nearby Nos 1-36 The Lawn, the first residential tower block in Britain. The building’s structure is loadbearing brick, with hollow tile floors and roof. The end walls are red brick in a double stretcher bond, and the south elevation is recessed and features orange brickwork. A void extends two-thirds along the ground floor, with the structure above carried on nine freestanding pilotis. This void allows the ground plane and paving to flow through, creating a visual link. To one side is an original washroom clad in pale blue ceramic tiles. The original metal windows have been replaced with UPVC. The interiors are not of particular architectural interest.
