Langham House Close occupies a superb position just moments from beautiful Ham Common, with its traditional village pond, cricket square and local pub, creating a rare sense of open space and community within easy reach of Richmond and Kingston.

Designed in 1955 and built in 1957/58 by celebrated architects James Stirling and James Gowan, the development is widely referred to in architectural literature as the “Ham Common Flats”.

The scheme was influenced by Le Corbusier’s Maisons Jaoul (1954–56), reflected in distinctive external detailing including the sculptural concrete spouts and strong geometric form.

Importantly, unlike many Modernist buildings of the period, Langham House Close was privately commissioned rather than social housing, giving it a different design ethos and long-term appeal.

This was Stirling’s first major work before he went on to international recognition with projects such as the Engineering Building at Leicester University, the Clore Gallery at Tate Britain and the Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart.

As such, the development holds a notable place in post-war British architectural history.
