Glenkerry House, Grade II listed Brutalist residential tower in Poplar, England
Glenkerry House rises 14 floors with a distinctive bush-hammered concrete exterior and features an interlocking arrangement of 79 apartments across its levels.
Completed in 1971, this residential building was designed by Hungarian-born architect Ernő Goldfinger as part of the Brownfield Estate development near Blackwall Tunnel.
The building represents a prime example of British Brutalist architecture, incorporating Goldfinger's vision of social housing with spacious flats and large windows.
The housing cooperative structure allows residents to manage the building collectively, maintaining lower-than-market prices for one to four-bedroom apartments.
The tower's design requires only one corridor every three floors, maximizing living space while incorporating communal gardens around the base of the structure.
