Isokon Building

Isokon Building

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.

Gary Denham Info
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.

Measures to satisfy stringent aesthetic and planning considerations included the use of novel flush boiler flues and designing the ventilation to access the flats through existing openings.
