A Masterpiece of Camden Modernism
Maiden Lane Estate was constructed in two phases between 1976 and 1983 and consists of 479 homes, as well as shops and a community centre.
Phase I of the site was led by the acclaimed architectural duo Gordon Benson and Alan Forsyth, whose work here typifies the spatial generosity, sensitivity to site, and emphasis on community infrastructure that defined Camdens housing projects of the 1960s and 70s. The result is a layered, textured urban landscape of interlocking forms and pedestrian-friendly routesdesigned for long-term livability and social cohesion.
Recent regeneration efforts have introduced new homes that are sensitively integrated with the original architecture, preserving the estates character while bringing renewed vitality to the area.
