Description

Grade I listed 1934 residential block of flats in Hampstead, designed by the Canadian modernist architect Wells Coates for clients Jack and Molly Pritchard.

The Isokon building, also know as Lawn Road Flats, in London was the haunt of some of the most prominent Soviet agents working against Britain in the 1930s and 40s, among them Arnold Deutsch, the controller of the group of Cambridge spies who came to be known as the "Magnificent Five" after the Western movie The Magnificent Seven; the Kuczynski family who helped recruit Klaus Fuchs to disclose the atomic bomb secrets to Stalin, and the photographer Edith Tudor-Hart. The design had to deal with this demanding context to create a high quality building that respects both the adjoining conservation area and the Grade 1 Isokon building.
