History
Constructed in 1936, Pullman Court stands as a testament to the innovative vision of architect Frederick Gibberd, who was just 23 years old at the time of its design. Situated in Streatham, south London, this seminal development was conceived to address the pressing housing shortage of the era, utilizing modern materials and cutting-edge design principles. The scheme, located amidst the verdant surroundings of mature trees, encompasses 218 flats ranging from one to four rooms, strategically distributed across three blocks. This thoughtful arrangement not only mitigated noise disruption but also maximized access to natural light—a hallmark of Gibberd's design ethos.
Drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, the elongated balcony walkways lend a robust aesthetic to the five and seven-storey blocks, while also fostering a neighbourly living environment. The interiors echoed the understated elegance of the exterior, with a subtle color palette carried through from the steel windows to the bespoke furniture designed by Gibberd himself. Each unit was meticulously outfitted with bespoke furniture and lighting.
Noteworthy features such as sliding wood panel walls in two-room flats underscored the adaptability of the living spaces. In a testament to its enduring significance, the external fabric of the buildings underwent extensive refurbishment in 1995, leading to its elevation from a Grade II to Grade II* Listed development—a fitting tribute to its architectural legacy.
