Corringham
Key Details
Overview
Corringham is a Grade II listed apartment building in Bayswater, London W2.
The house was built privately in 1962-64. The Grade II listed building has eight floors with six apartments each, an underground parking garage for residents and a beautiful private communal garden. Eighteen of the apartments - all on the lower three floors - have one bedroom each; the remaining thirty flats have two bedrooms. The extra space needed to accommodate these extra bedrooms is realised by an 'overhang' at the back of the building. Each apartment has an east-facing balcony overlooking the garden and London's West End.
The architect of the building, Kenneth Frampton of Douglas Stephen & Partners, was confronted with high land costs and strict planning restrictions. The height and depth of the block had to match the outline of the Edwardian buildings that once stood on the same site. To observe these restrictions and still fit 48 apartments in the block Kenneth Frampton used the then practically new scissor design in which each up-going flat interlocks with its down-going neighbour. This design reduces the number of corridors required - there are only five to service all eight floors - and allows for a more compact construction without compromising the size of the apartments.
The entrance canopy was added in 1964 after completion of the rest of the building.
