Isokon Flats

The Isokon (Isometric Unit Construction), a 1934 Grade l listed modernist block of flats designed by Wells Coates, was restored for Notting Hill Home Ownership to provide 25 shared ownership flats for key workers and 11 for private sale.

The flats have listed interiors, and careful negotiation with statutory authorities and manufacturers was required to permit discreet modern services installations.  Early residents of the Isokon included Agatha Christie and exiles from the Bauhaus school.

Isokon Flats

This Grade I Modernist landmark building had, in recent years, fallen into an acute state of disrepair. The work undertaken saw it fully restored and regenerated.

Isokon is one project in our continuing story of nearly 50 years of delivering residential buildings.
