PROJECT DETAILS

Francis Skinner / Douglas Bailey / Berthold Lubetkin: Cranbrook Estate, ?–1963

  • London, Great Britain, Show on map
  • #RES #Western Europe
  • Six buildings in ascending height were arranged so that their shadows woud create a unique pattern. To make up for a never realized connection to Victoria park, the landscape design featured a trompe l’œil-like effect by simulating distance through a tapered path and differently scaled hoops. Special thanks to David Veitch

  • Because of issues with purchasing the neccesary land, the connection to the Park was never realized. The landscape features have been removed. The complex is in need of renovations and has suffered multiple alterations throughout the years. A former playground was converted into the Cranbrook Community Food Garden in 2009.
