Perronet House, Residential tower near Elephant and Castle, London, United Kingdom
Perronet House rises eleven stories high with a dual-aspect design that eliminates external corridors typical of residential tower blocks in London.
The Greater London Council commissioned architect Roger Walters to design this social housing project, which was completed in May 1970.
The building received recognition through a commendation in the 1971 Good Design In Housing awards for its modernist and brutalist architectural approach.
The ground floor garages were transformed into Elephant Arcade in 2020, providing commercial spaces for local businesses affected by neighborhood changes.
The structure features a tenth-floor communal sundeck and scissor-section flats arranged across three main levels, creating an innovative residential layout.
