Savana, Yoakley Roadway, London N16.
Designer Frank Gilks’ 1970s structure includes a rectangle-shaped façade and ribbon windows, which are dead giveaways of its modernist heritage. It makes a punchy addition to the street (easily situated simply off Stoke Newington Church Street), where it’s situated amongst Georgian balconies. Looking over neighbouring chimneys, the block is an example of the age’s concentrate on vertical living, while the unified mix of concrete, metal window frames and brickwork was created to take advantage of what were then ingenious product and engineering methods.
The two-bedroom, ground-floor flat itself has actually just recently gone through an understanding remodelling, that included the addition of a brand-new minimalist kitchen area and bespoke joinery. However the very best feature of this location may simply be the intense and airy interiors, specifically on a bright day, when trees dapple the light throughout the walls.
