"The two-storey residential yard building and stone-built street building, designed by Björk in 1903, form a yard setting from the turn of the century that is [was] unusually well preserved."

The guide was written some time before 1998, it's not quite in such good condition now.

Antrim House, Battersea

Antrim House, just off Lavender Hill, is a curious attempt to bridge the gap left by a WWII bomb with a block of two layers of two-storey flats, sitting on top of a doctor's surgery. It rather stands out as the only block of flats in the area.

I quite like the way Antrim House fits five floors into the space the neighbouring (small) remaining piece of the Victorian terrace uses for three and a bit floors. Despite the significantly different scale, the houses to the right are part of the same development as Antrim House.

Designed by L Phillips for Wandsworth Borough Council in 1971.
