History
Keeling House was built between 1954 and 1957 by the greatly revered Modernist architect Denys Lasdun, and was renovated to a very high standard by Munkenbeck + Marshall in 2001.
The building was given a Grade II* listing in 1993 in recognition of its architectural significance. Although originally built for council tenants, it was sold to a developer in 1999, and all of the flats are now in private ownership.
Denys Lasdun’s original design for Keeling House shunned the traditional slab block in favour of a winged plan (four blocks arrange around a central service tower), which encouraged the occupants to interact with each other.
