Dawson's Heights, Modern housing estate in Dulwich, England.
Two massive zigzag-shaped blocks, Bredinghurst and Ladlands, rise twelve stories high on a hilltop site, containing 296 residences with private balconies.
Kate Macintosh designed this residential complex in the 1960s at age 28, winning an architectural competition organized by Southwark Borough's authorities.
The buildings reflect modern architecture and brutalist principles through their angular forms, concrete construction, and emphasis on communal spaces between structures.
The estate includes apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms, with split-level maisonettes offering dual-aspect views across London from their elevated position.
The structures follow a ziggurat formation, allowing two-thirds of the residences to receive natural light from multiple directions throughout the day.
