Keeling House

Keeling House

Keeling House is a 16 story block of flats located on Claredale Street in Bethnal Green, London. It was designed by Denys Lasdun and built between 1957 and 1959 as 4 blocks of maisonettes arranged around a central service tower.

Keeling House was a council block of flats until 1992 when it was closed, reportedly due to structural problems. In 1999, the building was designated a grade II* listed building (the first example of post-War council housing to receive this designation) and was sold to a private developer. It was converted into luxury apartments between 1999 and 2001. Key features of the renovation include a striking glass foyer with external water feature designed by Munkenbeck and Marshall.

Since the renovation, the building has featured in numerous documentaries about contemporary British architecture owing to increasing awareness of Lasdun's contribution to modern British design.
