Renowned architect Berthold Lubetkin (1901-1990) was one of the most important figures of the Modern Movement designed the The Cranbrook Estate which was the last and largest of the three Bethnal Green estates designed by Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin. The design plays with scale and perspective, building from one and two-storey houses at the perimeter towards six square towers increasing in height to the main axis at Modling House. The state has been described as being “ set at different angles, with the intent of creating movement”. Unlike the Dorset and Lakeview estates, which are concrete-faced, brick was specified here; projecting green-painted panels provide Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin’s characteristic exterior panelling. These were described by Lubetkin as a “fishscale pattern”; and each high block is topped by a dramatic concrete “flying cornice” – typical of Lubetkin’s dynamic constructivist style.
