Grayswood Point / Entrance

Lead architect: Rosemary Stjernstedt of the LCC, Ove Arup engineers, 1955. Entrance to a point block of 42 flats in Norley Vale. "The name point block was coined by the Alton East team and is derived from the Swedish punkthus" [source - Grade 2 listing]. The estate's massing and retention of planting from the earlier Victorian villas "epitomises the humanist tradition in post-war British architecture". Roehampton, London Borough of Wandsworth,
