It was designed by Hungarian architect Ernő Goldfinger as part of a group of buildings in the Brownfield Estate alongside Glenkerry House and Carradale House. Grade II listed by Historic England.

It has recently been extensively refurbished and the apartments are now being sold to private buyers (whereas when built it was designed as social housing).
