Taylor Sperry- Neave Brown Blog #6

The Alexandra Road Estate is another one of Neave Brown’s masterpieces. It is located in London, England. It was built during the 1970’s and took roughly six years to complete. The estate is comprised of around 500 houses, shops, a community center and even a school. The layout is a stepped formation that climbs up eight stories tall. The roofs are flat in order to allow residents to have an outdoor space. One of the reasons Brown’s work is so looked up to is because the effort and innovation he has delivered to public housing in the UK, where so many others just wanted to keep doing the cheap and quick option.
