Lillington Gardens, Brutalist housing estate in Pimlico, Westminster, United Kingdom.
Lillington Gardens combines red-brown brick facades with concrete structures across fourteen residential blocks of different heights arranged around central courtyards and walkways.
The estate, constructed between 1961 and 1971 by architects Roger Westman and John Darbourne, replaced Victorian streets damaged during World War II.
The development earned multiple recognitions, including the 1961 Housing Design Award and 1970 Ministry of Housing Award for its innovative residential architecture.
Located near public transportation and local services, the estate provides private gardens at ground and roof levels for its residents.
The estate achieves high housing density through medium-rise structures instead of tower blocks, incorporating planted roof streets that connect with Victorian surroundings.
